If You Live Like Me by Lori Weber (Lobster Press, 2009) is a wonderfully wr itten portrayal of a teen girl who moves from Montreal to St. John's, Newfo undland for her father's work. Planning her escape back to Montreal even b efore the plane lands, Cheryl slowly, and sometimes painfully, revises her understanding, and acceptance, of home. Geography is prominent in this boo k (also a good travel read), but Cheryl's inner landscape is described just as well.
