Coming Home

Ebonie Stirling-Gatt

Twelve-year-old Ebonie feels completely lost.

Her mum has committed suicide after a long struggle with depression, her dad has just told her he never wants to see her again, and she's been sent to live with her mum's best friend in a home that, although nice, just isn't hers.

Desperate to gain control, Ebonie finds solace in calorie counting and a dangerous relationship with food. If she can count every calorie she puts in her mouth, maybe she can regain control as her world falls apart around her.

Ebonie's obsession with being the perfect weight leads her to weightlifting and extreme sports, but as she gains more muscle and medals, she feels emptier than ever. Can she ever feel at home again?

Coming Home is a confronting, raw and captivating memoir exploring mental health, travel, childhood trauma and our sense of belonging.

Debut author Ebonie Stirling-Gatt has created a striking, heartfelt and inspiring narrative that poses one simple question:

How do you move on when the two people who were supposed to love you forever choose to abandon you?
