About this listen

Belonging: A Journey from Rejection to Identity is the powerful true story of Gofaone Pearl Khumoetsile—a woman who turned pain into purpose, rejection into identity, and survival into triumph.

Born in Botswana and shaped by hardship, Gofaone’s life took a dramatic turn when she moved to Ireland with little more than faith and determination. With the unwavering support of her mentor, Mrs. Tebogo Mosale Ncube, and her beloved aunt, Lenah Baloi, she overcame daunting challenges—from working low-paying jobs on a visitor’s visa to fighting for the chance to build a better life for her son.

Her resilience carried her through sacrifice, heartbreak, and countless obstacles, leading her to discover a passion for healthcare and rise to become a Clinical Assessor. Along the way, she reunited her family, rebuilt broken relationships, and embraced her true identity.

This book is more than a memoir—it is a message of hope. Gofaone speaks to:

  • Mothers—to trust their instincts and nurture their children.
  • Abandoned children—to remind them that they are not their circumstances.
  • Society—to challenge the stigma around children born into difficult situations.

At its heart, Belonging is about breaking cycles, embracing healing, and choosing purpose over pain. It is a legacy of resilience and a roadmap for anyone who has ever felt rejected, unseen, or unworthy.

If you are searching for a story of courage, identity, and the unshakable power of hope—this book will speak to your soul.
