Roslyn Trilogy

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. Raised by her loving grandmother, Rose, and supported by a tight-knit community, Tish had never questioned where she belonged—until a Thanksgiving visit with a classmate’s privileged family stirred feelings of rejection and identity confusion.

Latisha Walker Adams is a young married woman, settled in a new home and her long-sought-after career. She's earned her DVM and treats small animals at a veterinary clinic in nearby Oxford, Mississippi. The parting words of her estranged mother haunt her: "You might want to check your DNA" causing her much unhappiness. Is it true, or did Angel Forrester throw those words at her in spite? Is LaMont her father? Beyond that is her beloved Gran, Rose Walker, really her grandmother?

In a small Mississippi town, Elizabeth Manley, a respected young wife and mother, grapples with the shadows of her past and a hidden secret that has haunted her for years. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she befriends an elderly woman facing her final days, offering her a place in her home, together, with the warmth of small newly-formed group of friends. They experience the healing power of community and learn how to embrace freedom in life while facing the inevitability of death with dignity.
