The River Runs South: A Novel

This was a good read about coming home to a place you ran from in your youth but found comfort in during a crisis stage in life. It was for a book club and I found it to be an unexpected delight to read. Although the book was fairly predictable, I missed the characters when I was done.

This book pulls at your heart strings in so many ways. I'd recommend to anyone. It had my emotions on a roller coaster and I related to so many topics.

This was our book club read for February. Well written. I couldn’t put it down. Hope to read more books from this author.

Thank you @alcovepress @audreyingramwrites for my gifted eBook. My thoughts are my own.This delightful read is deep and emotional, perfect when you have time to cuddle up with a good book!When Camille Taylor’s husband passes away unexpectedly, she struggles to return to work and to be there for her young daughter. After almost a year, Camille decides to return temporarily to her parents’ home in Alabama. Once there, her daughter falls in love with the town and the Southern food and customs.Camille meets a local fisherman, Mack, who is passionate about saving the river. Camille’s daughter is eager to be friends with Mack, and somehow, Camille and Mack keep meeting up. Then, Camille learns Mack is involved in a lawsuit against her father. Her friendship with Mack causes problems with her father; but Camille feels an attraction to Mack and she eventually wonders if she is supporting the right side in this argument.I enjoyed the descriptive writing style of this author, as the coast of Alabama comes to life in this novel; and, the descriptions of Southern food are mouth-watering! The story unfolds through Camille’s perspective and the reader gets a good sense of her conflicts. The story deals with themes of loss, family ties, communication, and love. This novel is perfect for lovers of Southern fiction.

Such a great book. I live in Fairhope and this was a refreshing read. I will read more by Audrey Ingram for sure

I have had trouble finishing this book only because I have to be in the mood to read BUT it’s definitely the type of book I enjoy. I’m a sucker for a good love story. It pulls at your heart strings.

I was hoping this book would be good and it didn’t disappoint. As a matter of fact, it was excellent!!! Hoping this author has other books I can read.

Easy read and good story. However being from the area, it drove me crazy that she kept referring to the pier or the dock. In Fairhope it’s called a wharf!
