Fourteen-year-old Harbour is living in a tent in a Toronto ravine with her dog, a two-month supply of canned tuna, and an eccentric reading list. She’s not homeless, she tells herself. She’s merely waiting for her home — a thirty-six-foot sailboat — to arrive with her father at the helm. Why should she worry when the clouds give her signs that assure her that she’s safe and protected? (

Spoilers

If you saw 14 year old Harbour Mandrayke and her dog Tuff Stuff on the street, you’d assume they were homeless, but she’d quickly tell you that they were, just waiting for her father to sail into Ashbridges Bay piloting their 36 foot sailboat, Starlight.
With the days passing by quicker and quicker, her food dwindling and her credit card declined Harbour starts to feel rumblings in her self conscious that maybe something has happened to her dad.
There’s nothing she can do except continue to wait, try to avoid the pitfalls of living outdoors in Toronto and hope that her gut feeling is incorrect and her dad will show up eventually. (

I'm not sure why but I feel like I've read a bunch of books this year about homeless teens. Whether that's true or not, because I'm not about to go searching for them, I do really enjoy reading about these kind of topics, even if they are fictional. They're raw and real, something I didn't used to really like for my fiction reads, but it's something that's really grown on me and I've learned to appreciate.
