The author provided me with a copy of this book to review.Good morning, inkpoppers! On this spring Saturday we bring you a review of Gwendolyn Heasley’s Where I Belong from Precious of Fragments of Life. There are plenty of funny moments, and Heasley gives us interesting glimpses into big city life as well as country living. Even so there’s a lot for mother-daughter book clubs with girls aged 14 and up to talk about, including forming values about what’s important in life, how money contributes or doesn’t to happiness, how we define friendship, and the interplay of family dynamics.
Also be aware that Corrinne and her friends in both New York and Broken Spoke drink heavily and often, even though they’re only 16. Corrine also learns a lot about herself and the kinds of things she really values in life.Ĭorrinne’s conversion happened a little too quickly for me to believe it’s genuine, and maybe that’s why I also wasn’t convinced her change of heart would last. She learns to respect her grandmother once she sees that the rules grandma lives by are important. Corrinne discovers things about her glamorous mother that she never would have guessed were in her past. Where I Belong by Gwendolyn Heasley explores all kinds of relationships: mother-daughter, grandmother-granddaughter, sister-brother, and best friends.
Yet when she makes a new friends and starts to integrate into country life, she begins to reconsider her perfect life from before. Tripp adjusts to his new surroundings well, but Corrinne is determined to hate everything about Broken Spoke. But when the financial crisis tightens family finances, she and her younger brother find themselves adapting to the slow life in a small Texas town, staying with grandparents they barely know. Her father makes a lot of money, she spends a lot of it, and she parties hard with her friends. Corrinne lives the perfect life in New York City.
