Just South of Home is inspired by country girlhood and my family has deep roots in their community so we probably share a lot of the same folk beliefs and traditions that Dr. Puckett explores in his book.(less)

“Her mother had been twelve years old when she left the island of her ancestors. The same age Eden was now. More than anything, she wanted to know why her mother never wanted to return to her birthplace.”
Karen Strong, Eden's Everdark

“Don’t like that room,” Netty said, “Ain’t never learn to swim.”
Karen Strong, Eden's Everdark

“The first firework shot up like a tiny rocket going into space and burst open into a rosebud of sparkle. The boom reverberated in my heart. I lay there in the grass, watching the sky explode in color. In this moment everything felt right. I wasn't scared, and I wasn't sad. As I lay on the grass, watching fireworks with my family, nothing else mattered.”
Karen Strong, Just South of Home
