Exiled South by Harriet Cannon – Review by Audrie Harrington

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

The author did an amazing job of describing every setting in this book, which made me want to hop on a plane and go visit! I was instantly connected since it starts in Washington State close to my hometown. Lizbeth Gordon is a school counselor in a small town that she moved to after marrying her husband Dan. She has twin boys that attend Western Washington University a few hours away. After the tragic death of her husband, she decides to move back to South Carolina. The descriptions of South Carolina and the coasts sound breathtaking. With the help of her cousin Charlotte, she is able to enjoy the family home and the beach it sits on. I had not heard of the term “roots research” until this book and it intrigued me. Lizbeth is doing her own roots research and trying to learn more about the Gordon family going back for generations. She has Charlotte, her aunt, and some headstones and photographs to start. There are many dead ends but I couldn’t stop reading to find out about her family!
