Terah Shelton Harris is a librarian turned award-nominated author, who crafts upmarket fiction with bittersweet endings that linger long after the final page. Her debut novel, One Summer in Savannah, captivated readers with its raw emotional depth and explored themes of trauma, motherhood, and unexpected connections. Following that powerful debut, her second novel, Long After We Are Gone, paints a vivid, multi-perspective portrait of a family grappling with their legacy, secrets, and identity. With accolades like being a Target Book Club pick and a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee, our guest was also named Target’s first-ever Author of the Year. Her literary journey continues with Where the Wildflowers Grow, set to release in October 2025. We’re excited to explore the inspiration behind Terah’s evocative stories, and her unwavering commitment to telling tales that resonate with readers on the deepest levels.
