dc.description.abstractThis collection of short fiction centers on themes of home, homelessness, family, nature, and identity. A brother and sister try to uncover the cause of their grandfather’s death. A young girl is taken from her family and raised by cyborgs. A college student watches as her colorful, free-spirited roommate transforms into someone she no longer recognizes. A foster kid runs away to search for his mother in the streets of Boston, and in the title story, Back Home, two sisters meet again in their home town after nearly a decade apart.
