“Miss Me Forever is an elegy forall exiled people yearning to find a home and place to belong. This is aheartbreaking yet hopeful story of love, familial bonds, generational trauma,and determination penned by a writer of rare grace and dignity. With thisnovel, Eugene Cross has created a wholly unique perspective on the immigrantexperience, one with enough power and poignancy to ripple across oceans,nations, and time itself.”  —Alex Espinoza, author of Still WaterSaints and The Five Acts of Diego León “With Miss Me Forever, Cross fixesa compassionate and unapologetic gaze upon Tulsi Gurung, “a refugee from aplace he has never seen.” In America, where things are bigger than they areelsewhere, particularly loss and heartache, Tulsi builds himself an emotionalsafe house anchored by four immutable devotions: love for his grandfather,search for his sister, mastery over his own story, and a new language in whichto state his case. The journey is both utterly moving and utterly compelling.In a country made up of refugee stories, Tulsi’s voyage into a future that cancontain and transcend his past stands out. An exceptional novel from one of ourbest.”  —Ru Freeman, author of A Disobedient Girl and BonCourage “MissMe Forever is a coming-of-age story, a refugee story, a love story anda family story, all wrapped up in honest, heart-felt writing that sheds an importantlight on the realities of being an outsider in this country. A thoroughlycompelling novel filled with beautiful and effective subtleties, which is whyone might not realize, until the final page, the somewhat ontological questionsthe story had raised, chiefly: what is “family” when you don’t have any left?And what makes you you when everything you had has been takenaway?”  --NamiMun, author of Miles from Nowhere
