Featured Announcement
By Dianna Rostad
“You Belong Here Now is a novel as straightforward and powerful as the characters who populate. I love this book and I guarantee you won’t find a finer debut work anywhere.”
— William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author of This Tender Land
A USA Today bestseller – Willa Award Finalist in Historical Fiction – Shortlisted for Reading the West Award
When Dianna Rostad first discovered the history of the orphan trains, she felt a special kinship to the street kids from 1920s New York. After the Los Angeles riots in the 1990s, Dianna worked with a similar group of kids, so when she saw the pictures of these orphans on old steam trains, she recognized that look of determination and hope, and their stories began to take root in her heart—but it wasn’t until a visit from her father when he shared photos and lore of his family’s ranches in Montana, that Dianna knew where to set her story. In YOU BELONG HERE NOW, Dianna Rostad illuminates the 1920s in vivid detail, and with colorful family history—their speech, anecdotes, legends, and songs. Hard work, wild horses, old grudges, and shared tragedies breathe truth and life into this time. Based on a deeply rooted love for landscape, nature, and animals, Dianna has captured the atmosphere and essence of the natural world in Montana.
Montana 1925: Three Mysterious orphans show up on a cattle ranch, and after the family takes them in, the oldest is jailed for freeing a band of wild horses rounded up for slaughter, exposing his dark secret from Hell’s Kitchen.
Dianna Rostad writes bighearted novels for wide audiences. You Belong Here Now is her debut novel, published by William Morrow/Harper Collins. Learn more about her and how to buy her novels at www.diannarostad.com
