Abstract

In this collection of short stories, each protagonist is seeking some kind of home, whether it be a physical location or a sense of belonging. By exploring this theme, my writing develops different notions of "home." The stories are also closely linked by their realistic style, colloquial voice, and use of outside references such as fairy tales and song lyrics. While each piece can stand on its own, these stories with complimentary themes and styles can be understood as a whole.
