A Few Things Alabama is Known For
The culture of Alabama is deeply rooted in history and tradition. Despite being an underrated vacation destination, Alabama has a beautiful landscape – from forested mountains and flat top plateaus to coastal plains and white sandy beaches along the Gulf Coast.
Alabama became a state in 1819, and by 1840 it was the country’s biggest cotton producer. By 1861, nearly 45% of the state’s population were enslaved African Americans working on cotton and cattle plantations. A century later, Alabama became the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement with turning point events that included the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights marches led by Martin Luther King Jr. Today, visitors can explore this history at the Civil Rights Memorial Center and the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery.
Alabama also has a rich history in flight and space travel. Booker T. Washington founded the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in the 1880s, and in the 1940s it was at the forefront of preparing young African-American pilots to fight for freedom in the skies during WWII. Following the war, the town of Huntsville played an important role in helping the USA win the Space Race. Today, Huntsville is known as the “Space Capital of America” and boasts one of the highest populations of scientists and engineers in the country.

However, one day when she arrives for her visit, something unthinkable has happened, and Civil soon finds herself involved in a legal case.

Red Clay
Book Summary
This multigenerational saga traces the interwoven lives of an enslaved Black family and their white owners as the Civil War ends and Reconstruction begins.
In 1943, a frail old white woman named Adelaide Parker shows up in Red Clay, Alabama, on the morning of the funeral for a Black man named Felix H. Parker. His family doesn’t know what to expect after she utters the words, “…a lifetime ago, my family owned yours.” Adelaide has a story to tell, but there are gaps in her knowledge and she’s come to Red Clay to reconnect with the family with whom she shares a history that neither knows in full. A history filled with ambition, etrayal, violence, and redemption.
As the story unwinds, it takes readers from Alabama to Paris, and from the Côte d’Azur to New Orleans. Secrets are exposed and the line between good and evil becomes even more difficult to discern.
This novel lays bare the ugliness of slavery, the uncertainty at the end of the Civil War, the optimism of Reconstruction, and the pain and frustration of Jim Crow.

Author Charles B. Francher draws upon his own family history to weave together this tale of triumph over adversity, illustrating both seasons of joy and unspeakable pain.
Born six years after the death of his great-grandfather, Charles didn’t know much about his ancestor until the 2020s when his mother began to share stories about the man born into slavery on an Alabama-plantation who proceeded to build a life for his family in the post-Reconstruciton South. According to an article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, after his mother encouraged him to write about his great-grandfather, he returned to their acestal home to interview residence and learn more about his history.

Book Girls’ Readers Rate This Book
Book Summary
Anna Kate’s grandmother owned the Blackbird Cafe in the small town of Wicklow, Alabama. When Granny passes away, Anna Kate returns to Wicklow to settle her estate. She intended it to be a very quick trip, but for some reason she finds herself drawn to the quirky town that her mother ran away from many years ago. She wants to get to know the people of Wicklow, including her father’s side of the family, and she wants to learn more about the mysterious blackbird pie everybody is talking about.
As she discovers the truth about her past, Anna Kate will need to decide if this lone blackbird can finally take her broken wings and fly.
The Book Girls Say…
This charming Southern novel includes both romance and magical realism. While the small mountain town of Wicklow is fictional, the author said in an interview that it’s located exactly where the real town of Mentone is found on a map. Reviewers from Alabama say that the descriptions of this fictional town are very accurate to small-town Alabama life.
For another Kindle Unlimited option with a storyline about a woman returning home to Alabama, consider Burying the Honeysuckle Girls by Emily Carpenter, which is a combination of historical fiction and gothic mystery/thriller.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Book Girls’ Readers Rate This Book
Book Summary
You probably read this classic back in high school (or at least you were supposed to), but we recommend you give this famous book another read. Chances are you’ll get even more out of it this time around!
If you aren’t familiar with the story, it’s set in Alabama in 1933 and told from the perspective of a 6-year-old girl called Scout. Her widowed father, Atticus Finch, is a crusading local lawyer who risks everything to defend a black man accused of a terrible crime.
The Book Girls Say…
When we asked our readers to vote on their favorite classic novels, it was a decisive victory! A full one-third of our readers submitted To Kill a Mockingbird as one of their three all-time favorites, with the majority of those readers listing it first.
Fifty-five years after the publication of this classic, Harper Lee published a Go Set a Watchman. Harper Lee actually penned this novel in the late 50s (the decade in which the story was set), but her early publisher had reservations and recommended she take a different approach – resulting in To Kill A Mockingbird. People either love or hate Go Set a Watchman. If you adore Atticus Finch, you might be happier not reading this book, but it does tackle the important reality of the racial tensions brewing in the South in the 1950s.

The German Wife
Book Girls’ Readers Rate This Book
Book Summary
Inspired by the true events of Operation Paperclip, this historical fiction novel tells the story of the US intelligence program that employed former Nazis in Huntsville, Alabama after WWII.
The story begins in Berlin in 1930. Changing political powers are sweeping through Germany. Sofie von Meyer Rhodes and her husband, Jürgen, are concerned with the social views taking hold in their country. But her academic husband’s work benefits from the ambitions of the newly elected chancellor. Soon, however, their morality is challenged, and they realize that neutrality has a price.
At the same time, Lizzie Miller is living in the Texas panhandle during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The future looks bleak as their farm dries up. And that’s all before her brother, Henry, is called to Germany to fight in WWII.
Twenty years later in the 1950s, Jürgen is one of the many German scientists who is offered a pardon for their part in WWII in exchange for working on the fledgling space program in the US. Sofie welcomes the chance for a fresh start in a new country, but she soon finds that her Huntsville neighbors aren’t as welcoming or forgiving of her family’s past as she’d hoped.
Jürgen’s boss at the US space program is Calvin Miller, Lizzie’s husband. This is where the two women’s stories collide.
The Book Girls Say…
Kelly Rimmer is the author of one of our very favorite WWII historical fiction reads, The Things We Cannot Say, so we had high expectations for this book. Those expectations were far exceeded!
Even if you read a lot of WWII novels, we’re certain this novel will offer you a new perspective. It draws unexpected parallels across the decades, and it will leave you contemplating how history will reflect on the events of our lifetime.

In addition to which, her grandmother’s best friends – a motley crew of senior citizens – still live there.
Soon, Sara begins to learn more about Margaret Van Buren in the wake of her death than she ever knew in life. And a dusty box in the attic reveals even more clues about her grandmother’s mysterious life.
Thanks to her grandmother’s friend and a very charming contractor, Sara finds it easier than she expected to slip back into life in Alabama. But when an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, she’s forced to decide whether to stay and fight for the people she’s grown to love, or to return to her easy, but solitary, life back in New Orleans.
The Book Girls Say…
Some readers call this Southern Fiction bit predictable, but most agree that it’s both wholesome and enjoyable, with Hallmark-movie vibes.
Lauren Denton has written a number of highly-rated novels set in Alabama. We recommend also considering The One You’re With (set in suburban Mobile), The Summer House (set on the Gulf Coast), and Hurricane Season (set on an Alabama dairy farm).
Denton’s books are published by a Christian publisher, but reviews indicate that region plays little, if any, role in her novels.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
Book Girls’ Readers Rate This Book
Book Summary
This novel is set in 1985 Alabama as gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode recounts her younger years to middle-aged Evelyn. Her stories transport you back to the 1930s when her friends Idgie and Ruth opened a cafe in tiny Whistle Stop, Alabama. While serving up good coffee and barbecue, the café was a place for friendship … and the occasional murder.
The Book Girls Say…
While many people have seen the movie adaptation of this novel, as is often the case – the story in the book unfolds differently, and most agree the book is better. Because the book is partially set in segregated 1930s Alabama, there is some unfortunate but historically accurate language.
The sequel, The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop, also goes back and forth in time between the 1930s and the present day.
Fannie Flagg also wrote The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion, which is set in both Alabama and Wisconsin, although Wisconsin is the

Book Summary
In 1929, Robert moved to Birmingham, Alabama for a new job opportunity as a master carpenter. The city was booming, and his young family enjoyed the busy markets and nightlife. However, his success and snazzy car combined with his light-skinned wife make him concerned about attention from the Klan, which is also booming in the region.

However, revealing secrets that span cities and decades may put her own life at risk.
The Book Girls Say…
Time’s Undoing is based on true events. While the topics and some events are difficult, the book is also an uplifting story about the community of friends and supporters that rallied together to help with Meghan’s search and to fight together for change.

At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities
Book Summary
Twenty-seven-year-old Ava is struggling one month after the death of her ex-boyfriend. Although she lives in Ohio, she receives a mysterious letter with an ad to become a caretaker for a cantankerous older man and his cat in the small town of Driftwood on the Alabama coast. Despite her normally fearful approach to life and her suspicion that her ex is now haunting her, Ava takes a risk and heads to the quaint beachside town.

While she’s cheerful on the outside, she’s still mourning the loss of her mom and worried about her aging father. Newcomer Ava might be just what Maggie needs to learn to let go of the past.
Magical realism is sprinkled throughout the novel with unexplained predictions and events, and through the use of butterflies.
The Book Girls Say…
This book is told in first-person from both Ava’s and Maggie’s points of view. They’re both likable, as are the town’s other quirky characters. While the book covers hard topics, including mental health and grief, it avoids being a dark book and instead is a heart-warming tale of found family.

Book Summary
This multi-generation epic follows the divergent paths of two half-sisters born in 18th century Ghana and their descendants over 300 years. Effia marries a wealthy Englishman and lives in a castle, but she doesn’t know Esi is imprisoned in the dungeon below. Esi is sold in the slave trade and shipped to America, where she, her children, and her grandchildren are raised in slavery in Alabama.
The book continues to follow each generation of both Effia and Esi all the way to the present day and includes a range of historical time periods, including the American Civil War and the Jazz Age.
The Book Girls Say…
Despite the many decades that this book spans, it’s only 305 pages, so it’s not a traditional epic with extensive storylines for each generation. Instead, each chapter introduces a new character, and it reads more like a series of short stories. Some readers are disappointed that not every chapter/character has a full arc and conclusion.
Author Yaa Gyasi was born in Ghana and raised in Huntsville, Alabama.
WARNING: This book contains graphic scenes of sexual and physical abuse, along with adult language.
We also found a second book that spans both Ghana and Alabama called The Scent of Burnt Flowers. The description sounds fascinating, but the reviews are a bit lower than we hoped.

Readers praise the witty dialogue and say that this novel blend humor with whodunit mystery. This novel follows a non-linear timeline, with some chapters set in the present and others in the past, which is said to help build suspense.

The cover looks like a sweet story, but it’s pretty dark and disturbing at points, including suicide and graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse.
Many reviewers pick it up based on the cover and then are unhappy with the contents, which we understand. Those who enjoy it say that it’s a great mix of Southern charm and the darkness of some, unfortunately, real families. The novel is said to be both heartbreaking and eventually hopeful.

Looking for Alaska
Book Summary
While this story is fictional, the characters and plot events of Looking for Alaska are based on author John Green’s own early life.
Miles Halter is obsessed with “famous last words.” He’s also bored with his safe life at home, but when he heads to the anything-but-boring world of boarding school, his life becomes the opposite of safe. Just down the hall, he meets Alaska Young, a girl who is everything.
The Book Girls Say…
While YA novelist John Green is best known for his cult sensation, The Fault in Our Stars (about two teens who find first love in their cancer support group), Looking for Alaska was his debut young adult novel.
Looking for Alaska commonly appears on banned book lists due to some sexual content, adult language, drug use, and themes of suicide.
Forrest Gump
Book Summary
Born to a very poor family and bullied as a child, everyone tells Forrest that he’s not very smart. But he’s a great football player, and after accidentally becoming the star of the University of Alabama’s football team, Forrest goes on to be a Vietnam War hero, a world-class Ping-Pong player, a villainous wrestler, a NASA astronaut, and a business tycoon. All without losing his childlike curiosity and wisdom about the world around him. Though it all, he remains in love with the girl from his childhood – Jenny.
The Book Girls Say…
Although the novel and the 1994 Oscar-winning movie share the same basic premise, they are quite different. While most find the main character in the movie to be loveable, readers say Forrest in the book is depicted as more crude, including the use of vulgar language at times. Though famously played by Tom Hanks, it’s reported that the author had someone more like John Goodman in mind when he wrote the character of Forrest.
