Busby, South Carolina. Emma Jean Watson is fierce in love for her family and friends. She will do anything to protect them-including hiding the truth. Always priding herself on being forthright, Emma's secrets, along with her past are about to be exposed.Summoned to Philadelphia upon her dying nephew's request, Emma becomes the guardian of her grandniece, Macon but not without a fight from Nadine, Macon's mother. Nadine struggles with her own share of problems and secrets which have been eating away at her; causing her life to spiral out of control. She fights to reconcile her past but not before confronting the truths of her torrid present.Back home in Busby, Emma begins to realize that she and her grandniece have more in common than she knew. She wonders if life would have been different if she'd just told the truth from the beginning. The more that she learns about Macon, the harder it becomes for Emma to keep her past a secret.Emma's husband, Albert, and her best friend, Lynorra Washington have been the glue that keeps Emma together. Emma has always been there for her family but when the secrets are exposed, and tragedy strikes, will her family be able to give her the kind of comfort that she will need in return?Southern Comfort entwines the stories of the pain of buried secrets, murder, redemption, and the comfort and healing of a mother's love while taking you on an emotional ride that results in a surprising end. From the brash and brazen Emma to the abused and tormented Macon, to the addicted and narcissistic Nadine, to the best friend Lynorra, to the loving and protective Albert, the characters come to life with an old Southern charm. With warmth, humor, and dynamic prose, Ruthe McDonald weaves a tale that will have you longing for a bit of Southern Comfort.Southern Comfort is the first book in The Busby Series.Just Visiting Book 2James Perry's Unbearable Truths Book 3Pepper Book 4 (July 2018)In The Gardens of Good & Evil Book 5 (2018)The Devil's After Me Book 6 (2019)
