How To Belong is about living in a rural community in the ever changing, fast paced modern world.

It is the story of Jo who had left the beautiful Forest Of Dean to live and work in London as a barrister.

She comes home to stay with her parents for Christmas and learns they are retiring from the family business. She convinces them to let her take over and so she returns to this community.

She takes a room, lodging for the time being with Tessa. Tessa has had a troubled past and she decided to keep to herself and is a bit of a loner, but gradually the two women become friends. Soon, Jo begins to feel she’s at home. And that she belongs here.


A slow paced, comfortable story full of emotion. This is a gentle, rolling tale of family, friends and what it is to feel at home, to finally belong. A book for the quiet times, to relax, settle in and enjoy, preferably while warm and cosy.
