Uncovering Racial and Social Justice in Literature with Stacia Moffett
The South has a rich, multifaceted history. It’s a place where race and identity exist in a tension that stretches back centuries, and which still breeds underlying divisions many decades after the era of Jim Crow.
Stacia Moffett’s “Lost and Found in Tennessee” series, featuring The Missing Girl and Jessa is Back, offers a gripping exploration of the South’s complex history and enduring legacies.
Stacia was born into a family of educators in Nashville, Tennessee, and grew up on a small nearby farm. Her academic journey to Mississippi in the early 1960s further shaped her understanding of the South’s cultural and racial dynamics, eventually leading her into writing historical fiction.
