Personal fulfillment comes from following our hearts from "summary" of Where We Belong by Emily Giffin
Marian Caldwell is a successful television producer in New York City. She seemingly has it all - a thriving career, a glamorous lifestyle, and a beautiful apartment in Manhattan. However, Marian has always felt like something was missing in her life. She has always wondered about the daughter she gave up for adoption when she was just eighteen years old. Marian's journey to find her daughter leads her to Kirby Rose, a young woman who has always felt like she didn't quite belong. Kirby is a talented artist living in St. Louis, but she feels a deep longing for something more. When Marian and Kirby finally meet, they both realize that they have been searching for each other all along. Through their connection, Marian and Kirby discover that personal fulfillment doesn't come from external achievements or material possessions. Instead, true happiness comes from following our hearts and listening to our innermost desires. Marian learns that being true to herself and her loved ones is more important than any career success or societal expectations. Kirby finds that embracing her past and her biological family brings her a sense of belonging and purpose that she has been craving. As Marian and Kirby navigate the complexities of their newfound relationship, they learn valuable lessons about forgiveness, acceptance, and the power of love. By following their hearts and being true to themselves, Marian and Kirby are able to find the personal fulfillment and happiness that have eluded them for so long. Their story reminds us that true happiness comes from within, and that listening to our hearts is the key to living a fulfilling and authentic life.
