“Where I Belong” written by Rachel Ann Nunes, is a fictional book which I listened to in the audio form.  The story covers a brief span of time in the lives of Tanner and Heather, who have been best friends and neighbors since they were sixteen years of age.  Our first glimpse of them comes at the time of their first meeting.  Years later, Heather, who has always had a love of painting, becomes very confused and torn between her love of family and the gospel and her passion to paint. Wonderful opportunities to follow this passion lead her away from her family, church, and friends.  How can Heather find a place for herself and still achieve her other lifetime goals? This is a choice that many adults, young and old, may face.  I could see some of myself at Heather’s age, and certainly can see that my daughters have faced similar dilemmas. The writing style is easy to listen to and the characters are well-developed and easy to relate to at any age.  Several serious events take place which eventually influence Heather’s direction.  The story evolves smoothly as she uses her free agency and prayerful consideration to take the next step towards her future. To see how Tanner fits into this story, you’ll have to listen to the book!

“Where I Belong” by Rachel Ann Nunes, is a book that will come to mind again and again as life’s choices present themselves.
