"Thirteen-year-old Irene's world is turned upside down when her father loses his job as an investment banker because of a merger. Her penthouse lifestyle in New York City's Upper West Side is over. Despite her socialite mother's protests and denial about their financial situation, the family put their belongings in storage and move upstate into Irene's grandfather's farmhouse. At first Irene is skeptical and resentful, but she quickly warms up to helping her grandfather in the greenhouse, exploring the cozy barn and making new friendships with a charming family with five kids who live down the road. But Irene's mother is still determined to return to the city, and the question remains: if and when the time comes, will Irene want to go back to her former life? Having written for picture book, middle-grade, and adult audiences, Demas's first book for teens presents an authentic if occasionally precious and melodramatic portrait of country life, economic stress, and the tensions associated with a major life change. Irene's budding independence and inner strength add greatly to this absorbing coming-of-age tale." --Publishers Weekly, "This is a lovely story about a strong, courageous young woman and a wise grandfather--kindred souls who, together, forge new lives." --Patricia MacLachlan, Newbery-winning author of Sarah, Plain and Tall, "Demas writes beautifully of a family in crisis, a teen who takes charge of her own life, first love and last love, and the way a closeness with the natural world forces growth the way a gardener forces early bulbs. I could not stop reading." --Jane Yolen, author of The Devil's Arithmetic, Sword of the Rightful King, and Girl in a Cage, "What appears to Irene to be a calamity is merely the beginning of a journey she didn't know she wanted to take. A compassionate and convincing book." --Ellen Wittlinger, "Everything I Was--which answers the question what and where is home--has everything I'd ever want in a novel: engaging characters; a storyline with a surprising amount of tension; a family life that sometimes fits like an outgrown shirt for the heroine, Irene; and a wonderful ending that sits just right." --Ann Turner, author of Father of Lies
