An emotional coming-of-age story about a young woman running away from herself while trying to find a way back. Deeply moving, authentically raw, and humming with the possibility of a new love.

Description

But when a snowstorm strikes, plunging the town into darkness, Elisabeth reluctantly accepts help from her neighbour, Noah, the town’s young sheriff. Obliged to show him more vulnerability than she ever intended, Elisabeth realises she can no longer outrun her childhood. And facing the darkness might be exactly what she needs to let the light in.

In a searing own-voices story accented by poignant childhood flashbacks and stunning poetry, Allison Sweet Grant’s young adult debut is a quietly powerful portrait of a young woman’s journey to confront the medical trauma inflicted to "fix" her – and heal her heart in the process.

I Am the Cage is an evocative exploration of strength, resilience, and the transformative power of confronting one's past to embrace the future.
