Stealing Home by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

Excited about her own news, June O is also sharing progress reports on the three of nine helped so far by the unique spirit animal support group she leads every few nights. But a quiet soft shy voice among the six remaining leads to a young Japanese girl sharing how uprooted and stolen her life feels lately.<\/p>\n

Yuki may feel like her mother marrying an American baseball player stole everything from her at a tender age, but after her spirit animal is revealed to be the fox, an animal known for being sneaky, sly, and stealing what it wants and needs… Yuki may be downright sultry, seductive, and slutty in Stealing Home back from her mother.<\/p>\n

When June O walks in excited to begin her fourth meeting of the spirit animal support group, everyone is a bit confused by her enthusiasm. But after she explains that she got good news about an experimental cosmetic procedure from a surgeon she’s looking forward to, some are only more confused.<\/p>\n

As many problems and troubles and struggles as they all have, none can tell anything wrong with June O… at least physically, the redhead a seriously perfect flawless woman. But who are they to question how anyone else sees themselves?<\/p>\n

When discussion gets underway with brief mentions of how the first three volunteers to share their problems are now conquering those problems and living in the Kremey Zone of happiness, one shy quiet voice among the younger participants speaks up. And soon she is taking the podium to share her story and why she feels so troubled.<\/p>\n

Yuki is an eighteen year old woman whose life has been completely uprooted at a sensitive time in her life. When her mother met a handsome American baseball player in Japan, she never imagined it would lead to them moving all the way to a place she didn’t know with people she didn’t know.<\/p>\n

And while her mother’s work didn’t have to be sacrificed, Yuki feels like everything was taken from her, friends, familiarity, even the language and culture. She finds herself silently frustrated all the time by how happy her mother and John, the baseball player are in their fresh marriage and life together. And admitting it wrong of her, Yuki just would have liked if her mother had to experience something being taken the way everything feels taken from her.<\/p>\n

After Yuki heads home with her printed page, the spirit animal tale written just for her, she can only sigh at the home that looks so foreign to her, no Japanese traditions, nothing that reminds her of real home, all of that taken. But after reading of her spirit animal, the fox, and how sly and sneaky it can be, taking what it needs, what it wants, will Yuki awaken with a yearning to take something away from her mother?<\/p>\n

It’s a day they call family day, where Yuki, her mother Rin, and the baseball player John who brought them both to America spend a quiet day together around the house. But when Yuki wakes up with a twinkle of attitude like the shy girl never had before, she’s planning on giving new meaning to the phrase Stealing Home.<\/p>\n

Stealing attention, stealing moments of conversation, and soon stealing the drink John mixed up for her mother, it all progresses until Yuki is stealing the man himself, right under her mother’s nose. But just how much control can a sexy Asian fox steal and how far will she take that control?<\/p>\n

June O June continues with a sneaky sly tale about one girl’s move to play ball with her spirit animal by Stealing Home.<\/p>\n
