Settlingin Stories

Nothing makes a home like good food - that's what Sam's always been taught, and now, she gets to make her own, pondering other places that have been home throughout her life. Pensive, cozy, and energizing, you'll be left comforted and maybe just a little hungry. Short Story originally written in workshop to the theme of the 2014 ODU Literary Festival, revisited, refined, and retouched in 2019
