In an interview with Read it Forward (Links to an external site.), author Tommy Orange had this to say about the concept of home: “I love the word home because it feels good to say it when you feel it, and it can mean so many different things and places and people. Home is moveable, replaceable, and malleable. Home can mean so many different things to so many different people, but once you know what home is for you, it can’t be replaced by anything.” Does his opinion of home here align with the exploration of the meaning of home within the book?
