Home is Where the Sunflowers Grow by Laetitia Aldin

Even if the story is filled with humor and seeks to make the reader laugh, it also touches difficult subjects such as disabilities, depression, mental health issues, death, and family rejection.

Diagnosed with Steinert disease at a young age, Jack quickly became a burden for his adopted family. Coming out as gay to his parents ten years ago broke the already strained relationship he had with them all, except for his younger sister Prudence who could never turn her back on him.
Until Jack started to push her away.
Barely settled in Los Angeles, Prudence needs to learn to let personal care workers look after him while she’s cast aside from his medical care entirely. She never thought that said personal workers would become their friends. She never imagined that Ikram, one of the workers, would develop feelings for her brother and become the reason he truly smiles for the first time in years.
To complicate things further, Nate, Jack’s estranged best friend with whom he had a fight about her nine years ago, is also living next door, and her brother seems determined to patch things up.
As she slowly finds her place in the world and learns to love herself and let other people in, she realizes that her relationship with Jack has never been better and that he might have been right about his Best Friend’s feeling towards her.
Maybe the happiness they were both searching for is not as out of reach as they both thought.
But Jack has been hiding something from her for years. Something that might shatter her world when she finds out.
