Suburban Living - Good, Bad, Neutral?

This tale follows the lives of a mother, Davina Glasson, and several children. Although some lives are snuffed early due to bad choices, others start out anew, literally from infancy. The children suffer through multiple trials and tribulations as they begin an unexpected journey to adulthood and the difficulties they meet on the way.
They also explore what exactly the term suburban conjures in the minds of adults and adolescents alike as they begin forging their paths and careers ahead of them in their home continent, Barat, and the Republic of Shantu.
Within this ever-changing pattern of landscapes shifting with the unpredictable tides, and earthquakes, a young group of siblings make their way into adulthood and find all kinds of adventures lying in wait for them. The first individual whose short tale will unfold is the mother, Davina Glasson, who gives an opening notion of what is in store for the children.
