Description
Leaving home for the first time is an emotional point in everyone's lives. But whilst it may be emotional, it can still be humorous, interesting and entertaining. Leaving Home is a collection of funny short stories that take a light hearted look at flying the nest. It brings to life the strange mix of excitement, apprehension and trepidation that go hand in hand with what is a special moment in life, that moment where independence and responsibility come bundled together.
Each story has been handpicked and showcases the work of talented authors that are able to find the comedy, tragedy and drama in everyday life. Stories cover every aspect of leaving home, from the exuberance of students heading off to university for a life filled with 'studying,' to the mixed emotions of parents; the pride that their children are now ready to forge out on their own blended with the sadness that comes with the realisation that those apron strings finally have to be cut.
Leaving home isn't just about moving out for the first time however; leaving home can be exploring life outside of parental tyranny following adolescent, post argument running away (we've all done it, even if it barely lasts twelve hours!), heading out on a backpacking adventure around the world or chasing your dreams, no matter how far they take you away from the family home.
This collection brings exciting literary talent to a new audience and delivers intrigue, insight and interest with each and every page turn. It brings you authors with a passion for quick-fire banter, believable characters and twists that consistently leave you open mouthed.
Whether you are a parent waiting by the phone for your newly fledged 'young adult' to call, the only one of a group of friends left in the home town or about to head out on your own for the very first time this collection of funny short stories is perfect for you. So before you finish packing your bags, saying your goodbyes, touring each room of the house to remember those special moments, why not take the time to read Leaving Home?
