Out of Place — Meyari McFarland

Sabah sighed as he cautiously dropped into one of the black fake-leather seats by gate S12. Another trip to Japan and Sabah would rather stay home. It used to be glorious to write travel articles about Japan but now it was drudgery. He should do something else.

But what else? This was his career. He couldn't switch locations or genres without starting over. Great. He was in a prize of a mood and he'd barely gotten started.

He would've headed home but for a fan nearly beaning him with his own book. Sandy and Mike adopted Sabah on the spot, introducing him to their son Ken. Ken changed everything, especially Sabah's understanding of himself.

Out of Place addresses mental health, found family and figuring out how to cope when you're not where you should be as you work your way to a happy ending.
