Music leads the way to spiritual enlightenment in this epic African adventure. It is an ode to the human spirit as a young boy seeks his place in the world. 

Set in pre-gunpowder East Africa during a period of numerous slave wars, Belong – A Story About the Current of Kismet and Kin is steered by many characters. 

Guided by a spiritual mentor, an orphan named Josiah possesses almost supernatural musical ability. Living in a nomadic tribe threatened by extinction, he adapts within his culture, overcoming obstacles to find his true calling. Meet a slave boss and a pirate captain, warrior musicians, witch doctors and gypsies, as the magic of music quenches Josiah’s thirst for purpose and belonging, and the boy grows to be a man. 

Belong will inspire the hearts and minds of readers as they experience the beauty of the subtropical coastline of equatorial Africa to the highlands and mountains of the interior near Kilimanjaro.
