The Home You Make

Home. That's a place Samoset "Sam" Dawn has been trying to find since he was a child in foster care. A misfit, he endured the taunts and scorn of his fellow classmates until he fled as soon as he aged out of the system. He traveled the country, trying to find a sense of belonging. Decades later, after failed relationships and unsatisfying jobs, he's right back where he started.
Oakley Hudson is one of Sam's coworkers at his new job. He's full of energy, perpetually cheerful and the total opposite of Sam's taciturn nature. This doesn't stop Oakley from trying to get Sam to lighten up a bit and take another chance at belonging. Now Sam wonders if home is where the heart is.
Can Sam allow himself to open up long enough to let someone in, after all this time?
