Somewhere on This Rainbow

by Simha Haddad

Somewhere on This Rainbow would have helped my younger self immensely, and I know it will help those within our community and those outside of it! Books like these with authors like Simha drive the world forward to a brighter, more loving, and positive place for the future. I can’t wait to share it with my children one day!”

“(Somewhere on This Rainbow) weaves together a coming-of-age story of the lead character (Claire), with the nuanced complexity of gender identity, the natural fluidity of sexuality, and the true meaning of love and friendship.”

Somewhere on This Rainbow has been one of my favorite reads since Memoirs of a Geisha."

A mysterious fire, an attempted murder, and the unpredictable nature of the universe. These are just some of the challenges nineteen-year-old Claire Williams must face as she seeks to embrace her true self and break free from the confines of her restrictive upbringing. 

Claire believes true love will deliver her from the fear and crushing loneliness that has accompanied her since childhood. But when she becomes embroiled in a passionate love affair with her physics professor, a cascade of catastrophic events turns her already complicated world upside down.

Simha Haddad’s debut novel is a transformative coming-of-age story. Shimmering with hope and redemption, it reminds us that we are just a glimmer of light somewhere on this rainbow.

Simha Haddad’s short story “Fun and Games”was published by the 2021 HG Wells Short Story Competition Anthology: Masks.
