"Hi, can I get a small caramel iced coffee?" I ask.
"Yes, is that all?"

It's a teenage girl. She has short, dark hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. She has the most perfect nose and she has faint freckles all over her face and she has the prettiest smile and the most gorgeous-
"Miss, is that all?" She asks, breaking my train of thought.
I blink a couple times to regain focus. "Um, yes. Yeah. Sorry."
"That's alright, love. Your total is 1.65." She says.
I pass her a toonie. "Keep the change."
"Thank you," She smiles. "Your order will be ready at the other counter."
"Okay. Thank you..." I look at her name tag.
"...Nat."

Home is a coming-of-age novel about a 17 year old runaway from a God-obsessed, homophobic family, named Eleanor Connery, nicknamed "El". When El runs away from her cozy, rich life and stumbles upon a life with Natalie Spears, or "Nat", an 18 year old lesbian from a disorganized, unbothered family, in the lower class part of town, her whole life is turned upside down. Home is a story about two girls navigating love, loss, and newly-found freedom, while simultaneously juggling their love lives and the obstacles that come with sudden change.
