Author's Note:

We Belong is the story of twins, Jesse and Lexie, and their lives together growing up with CP.

I began writing this middle grade novel in the spring of 2016 and continued into the summer of that year.  On January 1, 2020, I found my notes for it, and ended up finishing the book, adding the final four chapters.

Though not published in the traditional sense, you'll find the full table of contents here - with links to take you to each chapter.
