From Cinelle Barnes, author of Monsoon Mansion, comes a hopeful and heart-wrenching memoir about remembering and rebuilding a life after everything she knows disappears in a flash.
In 2023, Cinelle Barnes is writing a travelogue about journeying home to the Philippines after a twenty-year separation when she suffers a traumatic brain injury. Cinelle’s story of her adoption and immigration to America as a child is not an easy one to tell to begin with. Suddenly, it seems impossible. Her memories and her connection to her husband and daughter in the Carolinas, to her own sense of self, and to her past are all erased in the blink of an eye. Cinelle has to not only piece together who she used to be but struggle to learn who she is here and now.
In this memoir of resilience and recovery, Cinelle charts her way back to life. Through her unfinished manuscript, she sees a creative and vibrant former self she longs to remember and to know all over again. With the everlasting support of family and friends, Cinelle discovers that nobody heals or journeys home alone.

Recensioni della critica
“A Way Home is a triumph and a testament to connection, community, and the joy and grief of finding your way home.” —Booklist
“In this stunning memoir, Barnes emphasizes kapwa—the Tagalog word for shared humanity—writing with a clarity that refuses spectacle and showing how home is grown slowly, through attention and care, rather than claimed all at once. A Way Home is a needed reminder that even after displacement and injury, the world still offers places—often in each other—where we can rest and belong.” —Aimee Nezhukumatathil, New York Times bestselling author of World of Wonders and Bite by Bite
“A book to treasure and befriend for its beautiful and altering journeys outward into the world and inward into the brain and the composition of the self, A Way Home is a miraculous achievement.” —Megha Majumdar, author of National Book Award finalist A Guardian and a Thief
