I’ve read every book Pat Conroy wrote multiple times. Each time I’ve been absorbed in the story and touched in the deep recesses of my soul.
I too had a father like the Great Santini. A career military man who believed family was a contact sport. By the grace of God, this wounded son did not become an abusive husband or father.
Pat was such a gifted wordsmith. You just fall in love with so many of his characters.
My love for Charleston was birthed as a result of reading his books. Late in Pat’s life while traveling in the Charleston area, I hoped to meet him and communicate what his life work had meant. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be.
God speed Pat Conroy. Thank you for touching my soul in such an extraordinary manner. May the Lord keep you.

It is wonderful that many people like yourself write such "keeper" messages... as if Pat Conroy guides your hand through your words. Thank you.
