Produktbeschreibung

Some stars guide you home. Others illuminate the person you're meant to become.

In the nostalgic glow of the early 2000s-when mixtapes, DIY zines, and late-night AIM chats are more than trends, they're lifelines-sixteen-year-old Elina "Eli" Fomes navigates the uncertainties of teenage life. After her father's recent naval deployment unexpectedly extends for months following the events of September 11, 2001, Eli grapples with a growing sense of absence, her world losing its steady orbit.

Searching for a voice amid the silence, Eli and her best friend Maya channel their restless energy into creating an underground zine: Starlight in a Dark Sky. What begins as a simple act of rebellion quickly becomes a beacon for unheard stories, igniting conversations and sparking changes they never anticipated.

Then comes the Blink-182 concert ticket-April 2002, just days before her father's promised homecoming. To everyone else, it's merely another show, another night. To Eli, it's a defining crossroads between the familiar comfort of who she was and the uncertain promise of who she might become.

Amid neon lights, VHS-tinted memories, and moments frozen in time, Eli faces an undeniable choice:

Will she continue waiting for life to happen, or step boldly forward and let the music guide her into the unknown?

Perfect for readers who love:

• The Perks of Being a Wallflower meets Daisy Jones & The Six
• Heartfelt stories about friendship, identity, and found family
• Nostalgic journeys filled with music, hope, and self-discovery

Starlight in a Dark Sky is a poignant, uplifting exploration of growing up, grieving, and finding the courage to use your voice-even when the night feels endless. It's a love letter to mixtapes, zines, and everyone who ever felt lost, reminding us that sometimes, our brightest moments come from the darkest skies.

The book has been praised by Stars and Stripes as "a nostalgic heartwarming story childhood in a military family."Behimino's other works include Exquisite: The Weight of Shadows, along with essays and short fiction that explore transformation, emotional endurance, and the intersections of memory and service.
