A Longing to Belong

In A Longing to Belong, Michelle Lee-Barnewall shares her journey as the only Korean family in a Minnesota town, exploring the complexities of racial discrimination and identity. Drawing on her background as a New Testament scholar and her personal experiences with marginalization, she weaves together theology and narrative to address race relations and the Christian calling in a fractured society. The memoir encourages readers to reflect on living as racially unique individuals within a community in need of the gospel's transformative grace, bridging gaps between different perspectives on social justice and faith.
