Twenty-eight year old Jess Morgan, a merchandise executive,
takes a leave of absence to travel to Destiny Falls to be
with her mother, Nora. Jess has been living in Toronto and
traveling extensively throughout the world as a shoe buyer
for a retail store. Fourteen years has passed
since Jess has called Destiny Falls her home. Riddled with
sadness and painful memories of losing her father and
fiancée, while lacking the support from her mother, they
have become somewhat estranged. Now her step father, and
object of the estrangement, has passed and Jess is needed by
her mother for support and to try to repair their own
relationship.
Jess is surprised when she is met at the airport by the
gorgeous and rugged Adam Wright, the object of a long ago
crush in high school. Adam is her best friend Molly's
cousin which makes it difficult avoiding constant contact
with him. Becoming physically attracted to each other
develops into an obstacle with Jess facing the day she must
return to Toronto and to her life. As they fall desperately
in love with each other, Adam's secret tragic loss only
draws Jess closer. Overcoming her feelings of desertion and
previous uneasiness with her mother gives Jess the peace she
has desired. But when asked to marry Adam and again make
Destiny Falls her home, Jess is torn and feels backed into a
corner.
WHERE SHE BELONGS is a very emotional and heartfelt story of
broken relationships and painful memories. Finding where
she truly belongs is a heartwarming lesson for Jess in
revealing the true meaning of love and the ability to
forgive. The story is very well written and the passion as
well as pain the characters feel is clearly felt by the
reader. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful story of love
and finding oneself in the process.
