About the Book
Tired of watching her father flit from one wife to another and having formed a true bond with her most recent stepmother, Natalia decides to move with her from Spain to Florida when the divorce is finalized. Being in a new place, though, has a way of challenging one's preconceived notions.Book Synopsis
Natalia's about to discover her place in the world . . . and it's not following in her father's footsteps.
After watching her father jump from one marriage to the next, Natalia has completely written off love. And when her father divorces his third wife--the only one who has been a mother to her--Natalia is ready to write him off too.
Needing a change of scenery, Natalia leaves her home in Spain and relocates with her stepmother to sun-soaked Florida. But she didn't realize just how far a new school, a new culture, and a new lifestyle would push her out of her comfort zone.
One of her biggest surprises comes from Brian, a pastor's son with an adorable smile, who loves God with a sincerity that astounds Natalia. She doesn't want to fall for him, but she can't seem to avoid him long enough to get him out of her mind.
Love is the last thing Natalia wants. Even so, God has her right where she belongs.
". . . an absolute gem." --Romantic Times TOP PICK for First Date
Review Quotes
"...an abundance of real-life problems like divorce, depression, fitting in at school, workaholic parents, and figuring out one's purpose in life should keep this story relevant for many teens..."--Publishers Weekly
"...girls looking for Christian YA will welcome McGee's third effort (Starring Me and First Date, both 2012), which is part chick lit and part deeper exploration of faith."--Booklist
"Right Where I Belong is a novel I can definitely recommend to young adults. Natalia is a good character to emulate as she continually strives to grow in her love for God and her desire to deepen her knowledge of Him. Readers should be prepared to be stretched."--Fiction Addict Review
