Deena Wood’s life…
Why read it?
1 author picked What You Leave Behind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like to learn something as I get lost in a story. This book explores a phenomenon of “Heirs Property” that’s prevalent in many rural communities.
An older generation dies without a will, and the family home is at risk. Deena Woods is an attorney who, after suffering a huge triple trauma, returns home to rural Georgia. I loved the characters and family dynamics, and I loved watching Deena become more resilient. There might be a slight supernatural edge to the story too, which I found fascinating.
Cultural exploration, traditions, and a multi-dimensional main character ticks off all the boxes.
From James' list on books with kickass women characters.
