Exiled South by Harriet Cannon – Review by Alison Risher

Exiled South by Harriet Cannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not an easy read, but it is lovely, fascinating, and rings of truth. As an adult, our heroine has chosen to distance herself from her southern roots. After two decades of living the good life, all the trappings of her “good life” disappear when her husband dies, enslaved to gambling, leaving her feeling betrayed as well as financially ruined. Having no choice but to return to extended family in the south, she discovers a generations-long family mystery. Working through her grief and her tumult, our protagonist accepts a short-term job in Brazil and finds courage, family roots, and herself along the way.
