WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND by Wanda M. Morris (Anywhere You Run) centers on Deena Woods, a 39 year-old who recently lost her mother, her
lawyering career, and her marriage. She is back in her hometown of Brunswick,
Georgia and underemployed when she comes across some disturbing questions about
local real estate transactions. Like her earlier novel, Morris explores
systemic racism in an objective and powerful way. Deena is in danger, but
gradually puts herself in a position where she can be a strong activist and
have an impact. WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND received a
starred review from Booklist (“Not to be missed”), was a LibraryReads selection for June, and was recommended as one of “5 mystery novels for late-summer reading” by The Washington Post. Readers are
sure to learn from and to enjoy this diverting read.
