After watching her father's marriages fall apart one by one, Natalia Lopez knows exactly what she doesn't want: to fall in love. What she does want is a life--and a faith--that belong to her.
When her father announces he's divorcing his third wife, Natalia refuses to lose the only woman who's ever truly felt like a mother. So when Maureen returns home to Florida, seventeen-year-old Natalia makes a life-changing choice: leave Spain behind and go with her.
Suddenly Natalia is navigating a new country, a new school, and an entirely new future--one her successful father has already planned for her. Then there's Brian, the funny, redheaded pastor's son whose genuine faith and kind heart make him increasingly difficult to ignore. Natalia has sworn off romance after seeing how easily her father falls in and out of love, but Brian has her wondering whether love itself was ever really the problem.
As new friendships, unexpected opportunities, and a life-changing mission trip challenge everything she thought she knew about her future, Natalia begins to discover where--and with whom--she truly belongs. Loosely inspired by the biblical story of Ruth, Right Where I Belong is a warm, hopeful YA romance about found family, first love, growing faith, and having the courage to choose a path that's entirely your own.
