Bound South: A Novel

Bound South: A Novel

From the award winning author of A Soft Place to Land and A Place at the Table comes a tale of three vibrant and unique Southern womenâ€”Louise, Caroline, and Missyâ€”as their lives intersect in unexpected and extraordinary ways.

From the outside, Louise Parker seems like a proper Southern matron. But inside, Louise seethes. Sheâ€™s thwarted by her seemingly perfect husband, frustrated with her talented but rebellious daughter, scarred by her philandering father, and exasperated by her unstable mother. Louise simply doesnâ€™t know how to stop playing the role sheâ€™s been starring in for her entire life.

A gifted actress, Louiseâ€™s daughter Caroline can make any character seem real when she takes the stage. But Caroline is lost when it comes to relationships, especially when dealing with her mother. When Carolineâ€™s young, handsome drama teacher seduces her, she canâ€™t resist. But her forbidden affair will lead Caroline to a different kind of stage, with a new audience.

Missy loves Jesus nearly as much as she misses her father, a part-time minister who deserted his family when Missy was three. She accompanies her mother to work as a maid at the Parker residence, for two reasons: to help her mother to clean the house and to save the Parkersâ€™ irreverent son Charles.

By turns hilarious and poignant, this is a richly compelling debut novel of family, friendship, and folly.
