What does it mean to belong-when your blood speaks one language, your memories another, and your passport yet a third? "Three Homelands, and Still a Stranger" is a deeply personal journey through identity, displacement, and the longing for home. From childhood alleys in Riyadh to the silent winters of Sweden, Romeo Kaze traces the emotional terrain of growing up between cultures, carrying a homeland he's never lived in, and building a life in a place where he's always seen as "the other." Told in raw, poetic reflections, this memoir explores what it feels like to be shaped by three nations and fully claimed by none. It is a story of family, faith, exile-and the quiet resilience of someone searching not just for a place to live, but for a place to fully be.

Heize sees in color. While New York City, the city where she grew up in, feels like a mix of vibrant primary colors to create a plethora of hues, Seoul, the city she is forced to relocate, feels like a grey monochromatic palette. However, in the midst of the drastic changes in her life, Heize is able to find solace in a bustling night-life sector in the middle of Seoul called Hongdae, where she also meets Denzel who is able to change her perspective on her life in Seoul. This is (hopefully) a heart-wrenching, but at the same time a light and entertaining novella that addresses the complexities of growing up and seeds hope in young adolescents and adults to see the world for the beauty it contains.
