Leo King was born in Charleston, in the heart of the American South. A tragic death of his brother made him withdrawn and lonely. Only the support of school friends helped him endure. They come from different social backgrounds, but they study together. Their friendship has survived the test of time. In their lives there was everything: failed and happy marriages, brilliant—hard-won—careers, and financial collapse; a love that arrived unexpectedly; and a secret, unspoken attraction.
“Bound by the South” is a novel you can read in one sitting—a hymn to friendship that can’t be replaced by money, power, or glory.
