Ava Dellaira - homecoming (2018)

The highly successful Dear Dead! after the author’s new novel, two parallel threads unfold: the first begins in the late ’90s, and 17-year-old Marilyn is the protagonist, the second takes place today, and the story of Marilyn’s daughter, Angie.
For seventeen-year-old half-blood Angie, Marilyn is a hard-working, single-parent mother who loves her very much. But Marilyn was also young. At the age of seventeen, she fell in love with Angie's father, James James of Africa. But Angie never met her father — Marilyn said she died before she was born.
Angie can’t accept that she knows nothing about her father, so she and her ex-boyfriend, Sam, head to Los Angeles from their New Mexico home to find out what happened to her.
During his journey, he not only manages to explore the past, but also learns a lot about himself: where he is in the world and who he really is.
