Synopsis

Daniel Harper has spent his entire life knowing his father only as a name and a distance. When he boards a plane from Berlin to London at sixteen, carrying a guitar and a suitcase, he isn't returning to someone he lost-he's heading toward someone he's never known. Left behind with the mother who raised him alone, Daniel has built his world on loyalty, routine, and unspoken questions. Meeting Alex for the first time feels unreal: a warm, enthusiastic stranger who calls himself "Dad" and seems genuinely excited to have him there. London is colder, louder, unfamiliar-but it's also full of possibility Daniel doesn't know how to trust. Complicating everything is Sophie-calm, composed, and already woven into Alex's everyday life. To Daniel, she feels like proof that he's arrived late to something already complete, that the family he imagined never existed in the first place. As Daniel navigates a new school, a cramped flat, and the fragile dynamics of a blended family, music becomes his refuge-a place where anger, guilt, curiosity, and hope can coexist. Small moments begin to matter: shared meals, awkward silences, late-night jam sessions, rainy walks through the city. Nothing is resolved quickly. Trust doesn't arrive all at once. Halfway Home is a quiet, emotionally honest coming-of-age novel about first meetings, divided loyalties, and learning that belonging doesn't always mean choosing one place-or one parent-over another. Set against the backdrop of urban London, it explores how families can form without history, and how healing often begins in uncertainty.
