A thousand miles from
a place that’s supposed to be a “home”
when it’s just a house
sheltering four people
that have nothing in common
except some DNA.

How the fact that you can get a message through to readers in a few sentences is really awesome! Keep writing!

&ldquo;Music is a total constant. That&#039;s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.&rdquo; -Sarah Dessen
