In this captivating and emotionally profound debut novel, two sisters find themselves entangled on opposing sides of reality, seamlessly blending a contemporary narrative with a parallel fantasy world steeped in Trinidadian lore. One year ago, a tragic car accident claimed the lives of Laine's parents, leaving her 18-year-old sister, Alyssa, paralyzed and nonverbal. Instead of pursuing her dreams of studying animal nutrition or competing as one of the few equestrians of color, Laine finds herself grappling with predatory banks, unscrupulous healthcare organizations, and rude customers at the coffee shop where she works. The burden of responsibility weighs heavily on her shoulders, as she struggles to provide for her sister and navigate the challenges of everyday life.

However, a glimmer of hope emerges when Lake Forest Adult Day Center offers to take care of Alyssa, completely free of charge. Laine breathes a sigh of relief, believing that this will be a new beginning for her sister. Yet, Alyssa's perspective is different. In her mind, there was no car accident. Instead, she and her parents, the king and queen of Mirendal, were attacked in the forest one year ago, her parents kidnapped while she was cursed, and now she must spend her days in Lake Forest's Home for Changels—a temple dedicated to caring for mortals like herself.

She holds onto the hope of meeting other changels who can guide her in embracing this new life. Yet, lurking in the shadows of Lake Forest is a dark prince who has taken a peculiar interest in Alyssa and her sister. As Laine battles to make ends meet, Alyssa finds herself at the forefront of a battle that threatens to obliterate not only her and her sister but their entire kingdom. The stakes have never been higher, and the fate of their world hangs in the balance.

This novel delves deep into the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the power of resilience as the sisters navigate through treacherous realms and face formidable adversaries. With its rich tapestry of characters, intricate plotlines, and immersive world-building, "The Home for Changels" promises to transport readers on a thrilling and emotionally charged journey that will leave them pondering the nature of reality and the strength of sisterhood.
