Taken from the arms of the river nymphs as an infant and raised by a woman with ancient healing gifts, Rose learned early she is different. But when told the brutal truth of her birth, her brittle sense of belonging shatters.
Rejected by her blood family and unable to fully claim the life she was given, Rose determines to remake herself.
From the quiet village of her childhood to the glittering streets of Edwardian Bristol and the turmoil of wartime London, Rose’s journey is one of reinvention, resilience, and heartbreak.
As the winds of the Great War reshape the world, she finds purpose in nursing in the field hospitals of war-torn France. Amid the suffering and sacrifice, Rose discovers her own strengths of compassion and healing.
But love—complicated, fragile, and hard-won—comes when she least expects it, threatening everything she has built: her future, her hard-won independence, and her fragile sense of self.
Torn between past and future, duty and desire, Rose must decide who she is, what she is willing to fight for, and where she truly belongs.
The Gift of Belonging is a sweeping historical novel of courage, love, and self-discovery in a time of war – perfect for readers who were moved by The Women.
