I am very grateful for the outpouring of praise for my latest book my memoir about my life with Pat Conroy TELL ME A STORY. I’d like you all to know that I read everyone of them and the private messages. Until recently (about beginning of March 2020) I was on an extensive book tour where I tried to meet as many of you, my wonderful readers, as I could… Sadly, the world has taken a scary turn; my prayers are with all of you…

Mrs. Conroy, I picked up your book, "Tell Me a Story" just by chance at a Books-a-Million at Brookwood Mall in Birmingham a few weeks ago. Just the cover captured my attention as I walked by. I picked it up and read more. I set it down and kept walking.
As we started to leave, I picked it up again and told my husband, I'm getting this. That night, I started reading and was gripped. I was pleasantly surprised to find out you taught at our Alma Mater, Montevallo! My husband, Drew, actually had you for a class! As you moved to Gadsden, I knew it well too. As my dad retired from Goodyear and Gadsden was our weekend stomping ground. All that to say, wow, when I finished the book and had a good cry, I felt like I knew Pat Conroy, and I'm sorry to say, I didn't know him before I read this book. Sure, I'd heard of "The Prince of Tides", but never saw the movie or read the book.
What an amazing story and so well told. I laughed, I cried, I related. I had a clear mental picture in my mind of what was happening. This was such a wonderful read and I enjoyed it so much. Thank you and God bless.
