I’ve loved the words of Pat Conroy since I can first remember reading. As a native South Carolinian, daughter of a Marine, and a career HS English teacher who also has suicide & mental illness in my family, I was drawn to him, his beauty of language, love of the South and sports. I remember he came to The Happy Bookseller to sign autographs, and I taught next door but couldn’t get away to wait in line, so a good friend and coworker did it for me, and I have his wonderful autograph “To Candi Pat Conroy.” It’s one of my most prized possessions. His novels speak to me like no other, and I’m humbled when I read his words.
