Synopsis

Cathy Holton's Summer in the South is the follow-up to her best-selling Beach Trip. Following a grave tragedy, Ava Dabrowski hopes to recover by traveling with a friend to a sleepy Tennessee town.

"Ava's struggles with her own past make her a wonderfully grounded narrator for a snapshot of the South as it is today: a region deeply tangled in its own history."-Publishers Weekly
