Key Features:
- The story of Heather Samis skillfully shows that the Lord is aware of each of our individual struggles.
- This book was written to serve as a comfort to women in the Church who must balance a family and a career
When Heather Samis moves in next door, she and Tanner Wolfe quickly become best friends. They help each other through high school and college, date other people, and write letters during their missions. Heather passionately dreams of becoming an artist, while Tanner has his life mapped out as an executive at his father's software company. Their friendship is too important to let romance get in the way.
Then the impossible happens, and the invisible line between friendship and love is blurred. But Heather has seen her mother give up a promising artistic talent to raise ten children and serve in the Church. She is determined she will not sacrifice her own talent.
Her testimony seriously shaken, Heather finds herself faced with a decision that will change her life forever. She desperately wants to allow herself to love her best friend and become a mother to their children, yet how can she forget her lifelong dream of succeeding in the art world? And if she does choose love, can she be truly happy without the art that is as much a part of her as breathing? There seems to be no way to succeed in both. Or is there?
Best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes skillfully shows us the Lord is aware of each of our individual struggles, and that sometimes you must be willing to sacrifice everything to find out exactly where you belong.
Reviews-
"Where I Belong by Rachel Nunes is Nunes at her finest. This is a story that will warm the heart of any mother on your shopping list and thrill all those romance fans, though I hesitate to refer to Where I Belong as a romance because it is so much more. It isn’t just the story of best friends who fall in love, but delves into the choices a woman blessed with great talent must make between her art and the fulfillment of her womanhood. . .Nunes doesn’t placate her audience with easy answers, but through the medium of art and loving relationships with other women she allows Heather to not only see a bigger picture, but to paint a multi-faceted canvas of her own. A subtle exploration of faith and the meaning of sacrifice add to this book’s depth."
"(Rachel Ann) Nunes is the author of seventeen novels and one picture book. This was my favorite of them all. She tackles a subject we often are reluctant to talk about in the church, and one we seldom see discussed in a balanced, open manner that never loses its gospel focus. . .The struggle to achieve professional and personal fulfillment without sacrificing the needs of our families is a woman’s struggle and the heart wrenching choices are never trivialized or reduced to mindless slogans by this gifted author. The conclusion is completely satisfying and gospel-centered. However, this is not just a novel about choosing between a home and a career. It is a novel for anyone who is asked to sacrifice for the gospel or is faced with challenging choices.
