A Place to Belong
In A Place to Belong, Danny and his younger sister, Peg, find a home in St. Joseph, Missouri, with kind Alfrid and Olga Swenson. Things seem to be taking a positive turn for them — especially for Danny, who finally has a “real” father again. However it was not to last.
When Olga suddenly dies, Danny is devastated — until he thinks of an ingenious plan to find Alfrid a new wife.
