Biloxi
by Mary Miller

If you are a fan of Frederik Backman, you’ll love Mary Miller! This southern novel has the twists and turns that keep you on your toes, but Miller really hones in on the main character’s relationships and how they have changed over the years, but also how they help him shift into a better version of himself.
Here’s some other great books that would work for this prompt in popular genres:

- Romance: Shaking the Sugar Tree, Nick Wilgus
- Thriller: A Time to Kill, John Grisham
- Nonfiction: Dispatches from Pluto, Richard Grant
