Books That Make You Consider the Social Dynamics of the South

As a place where race and identity exist in centuries-long tension—which, of course, reverberates to this day—the South holds a complex, multifaceted history.

The series “Lost and Found in Tennessee” by Stacia Moffett, featuring The Missing Girl and Jessa is Back, offers a gripping portrait of the South’s enduring legacy and rich history.

Born into a family of educators in Nashville, Tennessee, Stacia grew up on a nearby farm. In the early sixties, her academic journey to Mississippi further shaped her understanding of the South’s cultural and racial situation, eventually inspiring her historical fiction.
