"This is a tale of courage and reckoning, of a woman's life turned upside down and then righted, or righted enough, a story whose pages will not stop turning because Lizbeth will not let them. Cannon gives readers just what they want from a historical, yet superbly contemporary, novel: stay-up-until-the-sun-comes-up reading."-Mary Lou Sanelli, Author of Every Little Thing

"Cannon's settings are wonderfully hypnotic-you can almost smell the pluff mud of the South Carolina Lowcountry or hear the strains of 'The Girl From Ipanema' wafting over a warm, Rio de Janeiro beach. Lizbeth Gordon is a memorable character on a remarkable journey, and we're invited to accompany her. And we're damn lucky to have a writer like Harriet Cannon as our guide."-Scott Gould, Creative Writing Department, SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, Author of Whereabouts and Things that Crash, Things That Fly

"Exiled South deftly explores the ways that decisions in the past impact lives in the present. In her quest filled with fascinating details about life under siege in Civil War Charleston and the tough post-war choices faced by survivors, Lizbeth Gordon hopes to find the family and the love she so desperately needs."-Rebecca Hodge, Award-Winning Author of Wildlands and Over the Falls

"Harriet Cannon's novel Exiled South rips the cover off traditional Southern sagas and takes you on a riveting international journey across a century, exploring the hidden trauma and deep wounds of three generations of one family following the Civil War. Hats off to Cannon for her bold and exciting new work in a field of multicultural relationships that she knows well. The story Cannon tells reveals that we are all connected in ways we least expect."-Eleanor McCallie Cooper, Author of Dragonfly Dreams and Grace in China
