About The First Step Home

Three years ago, every adult disappeared. Nobody knows why. Now the world belongs to the kids who were left behind. Caleb has spent those three years trying to move forward, but one thing has never changed: he misses his mother. When he discovers a mysterious hospital claiming it can reconnect people with those they lost, he can't walk away from the chance. What starts as hope quickly becomes something much bigger. As Caleb digs deeper, he uncovers a dangerous truth hidden beneath the city—one that forces him to question grief, memory, friendship, and what it really means to let go. The First Step Home is a coming-of-age story about loss, healing, and the people who help us carry what we can't carry alone.
