Marisa de los Santos writes contemporary family fiction about friendship, marriage, grief and the unexpected relationships that reorganise a person's sense of home. Love Walked In begins when Cornelia Brown meets a man she initially imagines as a romantic possibility, only for her life to become much more deeply connected with his young daughter Clare. Belong to Me continues with Cornelia in a suburban community where new friendships, rivalries and family secrets complicate the life she hoped to build. The Precious One follows estranged half-sisters whose father's illness forces them into closer contact. De los Santos's novels are character-led, conversational and strongly interested in chosen family as well as biological relationships. Love Walked In is the clearest entry for readers of contemporary women's fiction and found-family stories, while Belong to Me works best after it because Cornelia's relationships carry directly into the sequel.
