Somewhere Different Now is a heart-warming story of two disarmingly clever teens, one black, one white, who cleave to their hard-won friendship as societal racism threatens to tear them apart. Both girls are running away from trauma in their lives: for Annie it's a move from the only home she has ever known and an abusive encounter with her father, and for Clydeen, it's the violent death of her father and a mother gone missing. When their devotion to one another is threatened, a mysterious stranger appears and busts up their hideout. Clydeen falls in love with him. Annie is suspicious of him. But neither of them suspect what is really going on and where it will take them.
