The River Runs South

By: Audrey Ingram

Narrated by: Megan Tusing

When Camille Taylor’s husband dies unexpectedly, the carefully constructed life she's worked so hard to build in Washington, DC, shatters. After struggling for almost a year, she reaches a breaking point, packs up her daughter, and heads for the Alabama coast where she grew up.

The salt air and slow rhythms of the coast soothe Camille’s spirit, but when she meets local fisherman Mack Phillips, she learns that things have changed in her hometown. Runoff from an abandoned development site is polluting the water, and Mack has brought a suit against the site’s owners—Camille’s father among them.

Battling her own fears for the fragile ecosystem of her beloved Mobile Bay, Camille joins her father’s defense team, but the more she learns, the more she wonders if she’s landed on the right side of the fight. Meanwhile, Camille is slowly drawn to Mack's fearless resolve, his sterling ideals, and finally to the man himself.

Faced with blurred lines between right and wrong, Camille must decide for herself what the next chapter of her life will bring.

With timely commentary on Alabama's fragile ecosystem and exploring themes of grief, love, and community, The River Runs South will appeal to fans of southern fiction on the hunt for the nostalgia of Sweet Home Alabama.

Loved!

I enjoyed this book. I finished it in a day and a half. It was a sweet and easy listen that also brought awareness of protecting our land and water. I recommend this book.

The story was great

Loved it, voices were great, enjoyed the story. Author did a great job character development

A nice, simple read.

This book has all the essentials to make for an engaging story. Its storyline felt pretty expected to me, although I had hoped it would become a more distinct female-empowerment piece where she defies expectations and finds her own, independent way through life.

Despite my initial hopes, the path it took was still an enjoyable and relaxing read. There’s a little drama, but it didn’t feel overdone. I’d recommend this book if you’re looking for a nice, simple, interesting story to fill your time.
