“Andrea Bobotis is a new, original voice as Southern as they come! In The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt, she unravels a complicated web of dirty Southern secrets. Using masterful writing and a perfectly calculated reveal of damaged history, she ends up weaving a tapestry that is so much more.” —Leah Weiss, author of If the Creek Don’t Rise

Bobotis' debut novel, The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt, has received acclaim as The New York Post’s best books of the week, Library Journal’s Best Summer/Fall 2019 Debut Novels, BookBub’s 10 Debut Summer Books by Women Everyone Should Read, Coastal Living’s Best Beach Reads for Summer 2019, and Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance’s Summer 2019 Okra Pick. It has also been a featured pick in Woman’s Day Magazine, on celebrity Molly Sims’s summer book list, on Deep South Magazine’s Summer Reading List, and as the most-anticipated summer read on Workingmother.com!

The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt follows a Southern woman as she untangles the dark legacy of her family's possessions in a South Carolina cotton town. It is a novel steeped in Southern lyricism, tragic family secrets, and suspenseful storytelling.

“South Carolina native Bobotis's debut is sure to place her alongside established authors such as Fannie Flagg. Rich in detail, it will carry readers between past and present, presenting historical issues of race, class, and belonging. A mystery entangled in family secrets and racial tension, this tale will be enjoyed by fans of Southern fiction.” — Library Journal
