"I love this book, and for it, I love Silas House.” — Dorothy Allison

In this stunning novel about judgment, courage, heartbreak, and change, House wrestles with the limits of belief and the infinite ways to love. With its wonderful writing and affecting tale of preacher Asher Sharp and his 9-year-old son Justin, Southernmost will have you turning the pages faster and faster.

"If nobody ever published any of my novels, I'd still be writing them in a vacuum, and I'd still feel grateful to be doing it . . . I believe in the power of stories to transform. I still think the novel is the greatest empathic window ever devised by humankind, and I think it would be a better world if everybody read at least one novel per week."
