Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Karen White's Bibliography

Karen White traces her love of reading to Gone with the Wind, and it shows: her fiction is steeped in Southern settings and Southern secrets, blending romance with suspense and mystery. That mix eventually carried her from early standalone novels into long-running series work like the Tradd Street books.

This guide focuses on two novels from those early standalone years: Falling Home, published in 2002, and After the Rain, which followed in 2003. It's a short, two-year slice from near the beginning of her career — a chance to meet the storyteller she was before the series that made her name, back when every book had to stand entirely on its own.
