Tucked into a forgotten corner of a storied, collegiate city, a young mother risks everything to build a life that finally feels like her own.
When Heather Brown sinks her entire divorce settlement into the largest house on a block of careworn rowhomes, everyone thinks she's lost her mind. Inspired by Walt Whitman's poetic legacy and the lingering memory of a first love, Heather is determined to create a new world for her five-year-old daughter, Gemma-who hasn't spoken in months.
Joined by Isobel, her fiercely loyal grandmother, and chasing a dream no one else believes in, Heather must confront a system that doesn't see her, neighbors who wish she'd leave, and a legal storm threatening to tear her small family apart.
Heather's World is a timely coming-of-age tale about found family, shifting identity, and the quiet ways we reclaim our own narratives. Seen through Heather's unsteady gaze, we witness the power of everyday miracles-and the place where belonging finally feels like home.
