Liz Carson Keith is a storyteller, like many other Southerners.
If you are a Southern American, you may even find lost members of your clan in her book..
And along the way, there were famous folks, common kin, worthy men and women, and cursed souls that hid their sins.
Liz finds, as she examines different ancestors, these tales blend gruesome horror, levity, and romance-all of which constitute her heritage.
Liz begins and ends the book as a travel memoir, but along the journey, her story mirrors that of many Southern Americans who share the same journey. and this book is about her Scottish family-multiple branches that came to the southern American colonies to escape war, poverty, and religious persecution, weaving into their stories threads of those they married and those they enslaved.
