At 15, Cathy Quinn is a complex teen living in 1980s Dublin. As the book opens she discovers that her charming older brother Stevie, who's gay, is falling in love with the one boy in school whom she likes.
But this is just the start of more serious challenges ahead for Cathy. Over her last two years of school, this tough but emotionally sensitive character will struggle with her dysfunctional family, come to terms with an intense, almost-requited attraction to her best friend Jeanette, and face the momentous decision to leave Ireland for an uncertain future.
As Railroad Man author Alle Wells puts it: "The Leaving shares an insightful look into a young woman's quest for true love."
