Publisher's Summary
Set in the 1960s, Barbara Bottner's I Am Here Now is a beautiful novel in verse about one artists coming of age. Its a heartbreaking, powerful and inspiring depiction of what it's like to shatter your life - and piece it all back together.
You cant trust life to give you decent parents, or beautiful eyes, a fine French accent or an outstanding flair for fashion. No, life does what it wants. Its sneaky as a thief. Maisie's first day of High school should be exciting, but all she wants is to escape. Her world is lonely and chaotic, with an abusive mother and a father whos rarely there to help. So when Maisie, who finds refuge in her art, meets the spirited Rachel and her mother, a painter, she catches a glimpse of a very different world - one full of life, creativity, and love - and latches on.
But as she discovers her strengths through Rachels family, Maisie, increasingly desperate, finds herself risking new friendships, and the very future she's searching for.
