Summary
Cove knew where home was. It was the two bedroom apartment where he lived for most his life, the city street lights shining from his window nightly, the sound of his mother's humming, and his father's boisterous laughter.
But when he moves to Sunset bird, he is told to readjust his definition of home. Suddenly, home was this: copy-paste surburban houses all lined up in neat horizontal rows, his father's lonely footsteps ambling around the house, and his mother's weekly phone calls.
This is not the home Cove has known for all his life and he refused to let this sadder version be it's replacement. So of course, he does what a rational, wise eight year old boy would do in his situation: he runs away.
In another life, he runs to cry on a poppy hill and finds his soulmate.
In this life, things get much more complicated than that.
