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…

The summer of 2021 will forever be known to me as the summer of the life of Pat Conroy. We visited Beaufort to experience life in the lowcountry and see what inspired his beautiful writing.
We went to the Pat Conroy Literary Center, even stopped at his grave to pay our respects. Then I immersed myself in books I hadn't gotten to, including Tell Me A Story... Still a few more left. One of the greatest moments of my life was meeting your husband about 25 years ago when he spoke at the Asolo in Sarasota. He autographed our copy of Beach Music after spending a few minutes getting to know some details about us so that the inscription would be personal.
It reads, "To Art and Meg Durshimer: To the love of both the North and the South." When I die, I want that book cremated with me. Pat Conroy wasn't just a great author; he was a great human. The world needs more people like him. And you. Thank you for sharing your love story.
