Meg Moseley's "Gone South" Review
Author Excerpt
The charm of the South drew her back to her family’s roots.
But when the town’s old resentments turn the sweet tea bitter, can Tish
find a welcome anywhere?
Leaving frosty Michigan for the Deep South was never a blip in the
simple plans Tish McComb imagined for her life, dreams of marriage and
family that were dashed five years earlier in a tragic accident. Now an
opportunity to buy her great-great-great-grandparents’ Civil War era
home beckons Tish to Noble, Alabama, a Southern town in every sense of
the word. She wonders if God has given her a new dream—the old house
filled with friends, her vintage percolator bubbling on the sideboard.
When Tish discovers that McCombs aren’t welcome in town, she feels
like a Yankee behind enemy lines. Only local antiques dealer George
Zorbas seems willing to give her a chance. What’s a lonely outcast to do
but take in Noble’s resident prodigal, Melanie Hamilton, and hope that
the two can find some much needed acceptance in each other.
Problem is, old habits die hard, and Mel is quite set in her
destructive ways. With Melanie blocked from going home by her
influential father, Tish must try to manage her incorrigible houseguest
as she attempts to prove her own worth in a town that seems to have
forgotten that every sinner needs God-given mercy, love and forgiveness.
My Review:
When Tish decided to make a bold move south to her ancestors home, she never expected to encounter the obstacles that she was immediate faced with. Job searching, picking up an unexpected responsibility, and learning how sometimes people just don't feel the same about things as you do. Somehow through a few new friends, faith, trust, and keeping her head up high, Tish hurled those obstacles and comes out winning!!!This book shows how much trust and faith can be spread from one person to then next prove to pay off in the end.
