Tell the Wolves I'm Home

Fourteen-year-old June Elbus has only ever been truly understood by one person—her uncle, the celebrated artist Finn Weiss. At school, June is withdrawn and has grown apart from her older sister, who was once her closest companion. Finn, however, offers a sanctuary where she can be herself. As her godfather and confidant, he plays a pivotal role in her life. Thus, when Finn tragically passes away from a mysterious illness that her mother struggles to even mention, June's world is shattered. During the funeral, June notices a peculiar man at the outskirts of the gathering. Shortly afterward, she receives a package containing a lovely teapot she recognizes from Finn's apartment, along with a note from Toby, the mysterious stranger, asking to meet. As June and Toby begin to spend time together, she discovers that Finn's absence has left a void not just in her life. Slowly, June learns to trust Toby, realizing that he might be exactly the friend she needs during this tumultuous time. "Tell the Wolves I'm Home" delicately explores themes of lost and rediscovered love, showing how compassion and connection can help us heal and feel whole once more.
