Southern Discomfort

Southern Discomfort is the journey of Sarah Mattox as she moves away from everything she has ever known to find out who she really is. Throughout her quest for self-discovery Sarah and her family take emotional struggles, new places, and downright tragedy head on. At the height of her self-discovery and happiness, Sarah loses the one thing that has always centered her. Sarah has to face life or run from it, and she decides to face it with all she has. Southern Discomfort follows the life of a tiny Southern girl emotionally traumatized on a daily basis, carries her through the roughest times of motherhood, and nestles her into a world where she can feel love again. Southern Discomfort dares to take on the complex relationships Southern women endure and impose on one another. It shakes the stereotypes of sweet mamas and harmless grannies. The author, Stacee Miner, gives us a real look at rural Texas, where not even daddies can keep the bad man at bay, then takes us across the country to life in Vermont tackling the questions: “Can you ever really escape your past?” “Are fears ever really conquered?” and “Is forgiving and forgetting a true possibility?”
