You Belong Here
$24.99
Jen and Steven meet at sixteen and marry at eighteen. Soon they're the parents of three young children. Initially, the kids keep them together until love turns to lies and the family implodes. As they become adults, each child faces love and loss in the shadow of their family legacy. You Belong Here is a book about trust and connection. About what keeps us going in spite of ourselves. About a place where we belong. Shortlisted for the 2019 Western Australian Premier's Book Awards. -
These are stories to be felt, read, and remembered. They cover births, deaths, and moments that define our hopes, fears, and failures.
