What You Leave Behind by Wanda M. Morris
5.0

Mind-blowing, thought-provoking, intense…

This book captured my attention from the beginning. From the plot down to the characters, the “OG duo” (Uncle Duke was hands down my fave). The author did a fantastic job with balancing everything that is covered in the book. Corruption, murder, racism, spirituality, and history are what you’ll encounter with this book. Alongside with grief, community ties, and legacy. I loved reading about the elements of the Gullah Geechee people. I have a friend that is Geechee and that made this that more interesting! Furthermore, I loved Deena’s character and following her story alongside her family. 

This is my third book I’ve read by Wanda Morris, and she certainly did not miss!
