Exiled South by Harriet Cannon – Review by Jennie Bechtel

Exiled South by Harriet Cannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows the journey of Lizbeth Gordon from the Pacific Northwest, to Charleston, SC, and to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Fleeing sadness and anger in her life in the Pacific Northwest, Lizbeth throws herself into learning about her family’s roots in Charleston, SC. In a surprising twist, Lizbeth learns more about her South Carolina family once she moves to Rio de Janeiro. This book started off slowly, to me, but became more exciting once Lizbeth discovers the stories from her ancestor, Laurette. I love the character development and the author’s attention to detail. I recommend this book for anyone interested in Civil War history.
