Belonging

Linda Harper

Belonging, the second novel in the Roslyn Trilogy, follows Latisha “Tish” Walker as she returns home after three semesters at Yale, having left her law studies behind to search for the mother she never knew.

Her journey leads her to Tunica Resorts, a nearby casino town, where answers bring more heartbreak than closure. Back in Roslyn, she finds healing through unexpected friendships, a job at a local vet clinic, and a rediscovered love for storytelling. As Tish navigates questions of family, faith, and self-worth, a deepening bond with Grant—the classmate who first sparked her soul-searching—brings hope for the future. 
Belonging is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about identity, acceptance, and finding your place in the world.
