Morris’s new novel “All Her Little Secrets” and find more information about the author at /book. I do mention different parts of the city because the city is so vast, and it is so very different across, you know, everything from West End to Johns Creek and that I think is what makes the city so vibrant and so good and so bad, because we have so many different people and so many different cultures.” It is a beautiful, wonderful, complicated place with a complicated past, and I wanted to bring that out in the book. “The city is much like Ellice Littlejohn herself. You’ve got John Lewis Parkway, just down the road from Stone Mountain where Confederate soldiers are etched in the side of a mountain.” And today, as we speak, you can still see clearly evidence of both periods standing here in the city. It is also the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement. I mean, at one point in America’s history, the city was the epicenter of the military operations for the Confederacy.

“It is a city that is full of dichotomies. I find the city just fascinating,” Morris said. How the book plays out against a backdrop of Morris’s Atlanta: If I protect my brother, then I’d have to violate my ethical oath as a lawyer…’ I tell people, despite the body count in this book, it really is a story about family.” And so she is walking this very dangerously thin line of, ‘If I reveal these corporate secrets, then I put my brother in danger. “Specifically a brother who she has kept secrets from even the people who are closest to her because he has had some trouble on the other side of the law. “When I was writing this book, I knew that I wanted a character who would be put in this really, really tough position where she had these ethical canons that she had to abide by as a lawyer, but she still had this moral dilemma of, ‘How do I protect the people that I love?’” “I think there is something about a secret that feels so intimate and personal, “ said Morris. They have to be the adult in the room, so to speak, and all those things just add yet another complex layer on just trying to do your job and be successful as a woman in corporate America, particularly in organizations where there just glaring absences of Black and brown people.” “They not only have to be successful and on their game, but you know, they also have to be wary. But what I tried to do within exploring that experience was to show that oftentimes, women, and particularly Black women, when they are in these spaces, have to do double time,” Morris said. “The things that you read in this book, certainly they kind of came out of my imagination. But I do think that Ellice Littlejohn is, gosh, far and away a different sort of woman, and I love her for that.” I once read a long time ago, someone said that there’s a little bit of the author in every book they write, and that might be true.
