Bound South by Susan Rebecca White
5.0
I loved this book! Susan Rebecca White has become my new top favorite author! BOUND SOUTH was so compelling and kept me laughing and entertained until the wee hours of the morning!
Being I am from the south (Carolinas) and spent my career living in Atlanta in the media industry and she was right on about stereotypes, old pretenses and the way they hide their true feelings.
Each of the main three characters was authentic and loved the first person narrative from each perspective. Wow, family secrets, scandals, and lots of humor and plenty of growth from the characters. I really started loving Louise by the end and would love to see a sequel as want to hear more from Missy and her dad and the possible connection to this family. Great writing!!!
I also love the tidbits of Atlanta as lived on Biscayne Drive off Peachtree in a high-rise (south of Peachtree Battle area) and could walk to Houston’s on Peachtree where she mentions as their place for celebration at the end of the book to praise her mother-in-law’s life. Love Ansley Park and makes me want to move back (since I now reside in South Florida). Sure miss the Silver Comet Bike Trail!
I would encourage readers to read all her books – I loved her latest – “A Place at the Table” (excellent). It has been some time since I read “A Soft Place to Land’ so may need to re-read. Looking forward to much more from this author!
