If you haven’t heard about this future Southern classic, read what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution had to say about Susan’s debut novel:
“Like its characters, Bound South comes dressed in innocence and comedy, a series of hilarious and poignant stories told in gossipy backyard-fence style. But underneath, its concerns are far more serious…”
By turns hilarious and poignant, the lives of three vibrant and unique Southern women–a proper Atlanta matron, her rebellious teenage daughter, and their housekeeper’s young daughter–intersect in unexpected and extraordinary ways in this richly compelling debut novel of family, friendship, and folly.
Susan Rebecca White was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She is agraduate of Brown University and holds a master of fine arts in creative writing from Hollins University. Now at work on her second novel, she lives with her husband in Atlanta.
