Camille’s husband suddenly dies young leaving her grieving and not quite sure what to do as a single mother to her daughter. Before the tragedy, Camille was a workaholic lawyer, but finds she just can’t return to her old job. With nothing else to do, she heads home to the coastal Alabama town where she grew up. Once there, she discovers the town is in turmoil over an environmental lawsuit that her dad has become entangled in.
While her daughter becomes enamored with growing up in a coastal town, Camille decides to take on her father’s defense.
I love the soothing setting of The River Runs South, it reminds me of slower living and good seafood. There is also a bit of romance and the blossoming of a young girl running around in the sunshine. I also enjoyed the story line that deals with how we can balance progress with being eco friendly. If you are looking to find some peace in a book, this could be the one for you.
I received a free ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley in return for this hones review.
