In the high desert town of FrenchmanтАЩs Bluff, Idaho, Felicia Kristoffersen has set out to create a future for herself that is better than her painful past. Alone in the world with only her faith to sustain her, she must prove herself as this tiny communityтАЩs new school teacher. She cannot, must not, fail. But, there are those who never wanted her there to begin with. Five years after the death of his wife, local merchant Colin Murphy cares about just one thing: raising his daughter, Charity. Colin wants to give her the educational advantages he never had. The new schoolmarmтАЩs inexperience doesnтАЩt sit well with him, and if this teacher up and marries like the last one did, CharityтАЩs heart will be broken once again. A woman who hasnтАЩt known love. A man who lost the love he had. In the midst of the wide, sage-covered plains, each is about to discover that lifeтАЩs bitterest circumstances truly can work together for good. Tender, evocative, and beautifully written, Belonging is a journey about love after loss, and about two hearts destined to become oneтАФdespite their stubbornness!
