Description
Though Michelle Miller was an award-winning broadcast journalist, few people knew her mother had abandoned her at birth. Los Angeles in 1967 was deeply segregated, and her mother - a Chicana hospital administrator who presented as white, had kept her affair with Michelle's father, Dr. Ross Miller, a married surgeon and Compton's first Black city councilman - hidden. Belonging is the chronicle of Michelle's quest to connect with the woman who gave her life and to find her voice as a journalist, wife, and mother. What emerges is an intimate story about the secrets that make us who we are.
