Welcome to Bainbridge Avenue, where fourteen-year-old Vicki's life takes a bumpy turn. She's got a lot on her plate-sharing a cramped room with her siblings, worrying about her mom who can't catch a break, and dreaming about a dad who's nowhere to be found.
But things start to change when Vicki meets Rosa from Apartment 1A, who introduces her to the building's basement, a hidden world full of forgotten stories and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
As Vicki sets out beyond her neighborhood, searching for her place in the world, she wonders if the imperfect family and friends she has on Bainbridge Avenue might just be the treasures she's been looking for all along. Join her on a journey of hope, heartache, and unexpected discoveries in Back to Bainbridge.
