We've Got Conroy's New Book!

I guess you've heard that Pat Conroy's new book, "South of Broad," is out. And we've got it!
Conroy was even seen on Good Morning America! the other day, talking about how this is his first published book in umpteen years, his fifth novel and nineth book. I can't imagine many people in this land of ours who does not know who Pat Conroy is, but I suppose there are some out there.
Just looking over his list of writing achievements is quite
impressive.
His first book, "The Boo," written way back when, was a tribute to a beloved teacher.
The second, "The Water Is Wide," written in 1972, is actually my favorite. It's about when Conroy was a teacher, and the book won a humanitarian award from the National Education Association. Then the book was made into a movie titled "Conrack" with Jon Voight playing Conroy.
Even the third book, "The Great Santini," written in 1976, was turned into a movie with Robert Duvall.
And the fourth book, "The Lord of Discipline," written in 1980, became a film.
But the biggest and best book, "The Prince of Tides," written in 1986, has been called his crowning achievement. Most everyone has seen the movie starring Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte.
Then came "Beach Music" and "My Losing Season."
He even wrote a cookbook..."Recipes From My Life." There is just no end to this man's writing!
And now the book everyone has been waiting so patiently for..."South of Broad."
When you read this book, you're going to find it totally different. It's a book with a loveable father!
But really, it has been called a "love letter to the city of Charleston" from Pat Conroy, and many say "it's the celebration of a lifelong friendship."
We've got Conroy's new book. But, believe me, you're going to have to line up to read it.
In the meantime, don't forget all those other great books Conroy wrote. We have those, too.
