Ginna Aiken just wants to be loved. As a child, she receives
little affection from her parents and begins building walls,
finding happiness only in her books and in listening to music. At
age thirteen, she attempts to take her life for the first time. As
the victim of a broken family, Ginna must somehow move from
childhood to adulthood, all while on a seemingly endless quest for
inner peace.
It turns out that dealing with her dysfunctional family is not
Ginna's only thorny challenge. After an attempted rape by a trusted
family friend, Ginna discovers a bottle of tranquilizers in her
mother's dresser drawer. She swallows what is left in the bottle
and begins an addiction to prescription drugs that masks her pain,
but clouds everything-including her judgment. Ginna just longs to
sink her roots into a place where she finally feels like she
belongs, but first she must somehow find the power to forgive.
"Where Do I Belong?" is a poignant and powerful tale about the
acts of love, betrayal, and the devastation that accompany a broken
childhood.
