Synopsis

What happens when good intentions collide with hard truths—and two women from different worlds dare to build something better?

Claire has wealth, time, and a growing sense that her life needs purpose. Erica has boots-on-the-ground experience, a fire for justice, and a career on the brink. When their worlds collide at a Portland homeless encampment—Claire doling out gourmet sandwiches and twenties, Erica shutting her down—it sparks a confrontation neither of them expected… and a partnership that could change everything.

Not Quite Home is a sharp, heartfelt novel about privilege, politics, and the power of unlikely alliances. As Claire and Erica join forces to help ten unhoused women start over, they face fierce opposition—from neighbors, city officials, and even their own pasts. But in the mess of broken systems and buried secrets, something extraordinary begins to grow: hope.

For fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Anne Tyler, Temple Lentz delivers a timely, fearless debut about building community, rewriting the rules, and finding home in unexpected places.
