The Down South-The Blood Between Us

It began with escape. It continued with survival. Now, the truth demands its reckoning. After the death of her estranged mother, Lanie Ricci-Clark receives a box of journals that were never meant to be read. Inside them is a life built on coercion, fear, and a love affair buried to protect powerful men-and powerful families. As Lanie follows the trail with her lifelong best friend and her now grown daughter Z, decades of silence unravel. Four Southern dynasties are bound together by secret alliances, arranged marriages, and crimes disguised as loyalty. What began as buried history quickly becomes a threat to the next generation. The past doesn't just explain who they are. It decides who will pay. South of the Mason-Dixon Line and Deceit in Dixie revealed how the secrets began. The Blood Between Us reveals what happens when they finally bleed out.
