I didn't discover Pat Conroy's books until after he had passed away. I actually went on a SC trip that included a walking tour of Beaufort, where Pat Conroy's house and other landmarks that were used in the films of his books were pointed out. Then I started reading.
I was very shocked to find out that Pat lived on the street I grew up on in Arlington and went to the same school I attended. What a small world! I wish I would have had a chance to meet him.

Teri, "then I started reading" you say... You will never stop until you read them all. I read them in the order they were written thus I saw Pat growing into his "trade" as of one of the most skillful wordsmiths of our time...
