The truest place

When it comes to the bittersweet memories of his late mother, Colin Eames is a relatable boy, recalling her tales of a faraway place called the Sapphire Sea where happiness forever is a way of life. Other than that, Colin is different. To Child Services, he is a prodigy. To his father, Colin is a trial. When Colin is accepted into the Outer Banks Academy for the Gifted, it's his chance to chart his own course, and to embark on a quest for the one thing that eludes him: love.

As the years pass and Colin’s freedom offers opportunities, his yearning to make a connection grows stronger. It’s a difficult longing for an awkward teenager for whom the simplest interactions are a mystery. Then he meets Mira, an empathic girl weathering her own loss. Large print.
