Down Here We Come Up

S
Sara Johnson Allen

A gripping Southern literary novel about mothers, daughters, and the debts they owe. In the sultry heat of North Carolina, three women find their lives intertwined by secrets and sacrifice. Kate returns home to confront her past, while Maribel yearns to reunite with her children across the border. Con-artist Jackie, bound to her deathbed, orchestrates a plan that could either redeem them or shatter their lives. Set against the backdrop of the American South's evolving landscape, Down Here We Come Up explores themes of race, class, and the exploitation of migrant workers. As the drug trade and human trafficking surge, these flawed women must weigh their choices and risk everything for forgiveness and self-discovery. Perfect for readers seeking thought-provoking, emotionally resonant Southern fiction.
