Do racially segregated communities provide a recipe for success or failure for their residents?
Peace, a fictional Arkansas town, gives insight into the advantages of living in a select-segregation community. Before being accepted by a review board of The Lincoln Institute for Social Studies, applicants are screened and given a well-defined set of rules and expectations to guide them in their five-year residency.
Belonging follows widowed teacher Serena Lewis and her two adolescent children through their five years in Peace and beyond.
