A Place Called Home

"Home isn't always a place. Sometimes, it's a feeling. And sometimes, it's a lie we tell ourselves."

A Place Called Home by Preeti Shenoy isn’t your typical comfort-read. It’s bold, emotional, and layered with secrets. This is a story of survival, identity, and the fragile threads that tie our past to our present.

Here’s something to chew on: nearly 1 in 3 adults say they don’t feel “at home” in the place they live. This book cracks that open and goes even deeper—what if the people we trust most are the very ones we need to escape from?

Alka, the protagonist, isn’t running away. She’s running toward something more—truth, freedom, and a version of herself that isn’t defined by shame or secrets. Raised in privilege but trapped by expectations, she suddenly finds herself in a new town, a new life, and surrounded by strangers who become more like family than her own ever did.

And here’s where it gets personal. Shenoy’s writing pulls you in, not with flowery words, but with gut-punch honesty. You’ll underline quotes. You’ll pause to reflect. You’ll see bits of your own journey in Alka’s—and maybe even find pieces you’ve buried.
