![]() Dearest Readers
In his essay below, Mr. Robert Beatty remembers meeting one of his heroes, Mr. Pat Conroy, just as his own writing career was starting to bloom. "I found Pat to be such a warm, gregarious, friendly fellow," he remembers. "He loved telling stories to the people around him, but more than that, he wanted to hear your story, to learn the details of your life."
The impact of the late Mr. Pat Conroy -- of his books, his commitment to literature and to fostering emerging writers -- has been talked about often since his death last March. But he is not alone or unique in his dedication to the art and craft and vitality of Southern literature. In her ladyship, the editor's own home state of North Carolina, it is often joked that one can "throw a rock, and hit a writer." And within her state borders are any number of writers who hold the same kind of regard among readers and the people who love books.
The same is true for Georgia, for Florida, for Louisiana. . .indeed for any state in this wild and wonderful region we call "The South." Writers, as a rule, are a generous and enthusiastic tribe.
![The Southern Book Prize]() It was in recognition of this truth that the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance has created a new category in their annual Southern Book Prize: The Conroy Legacy Award.
The Conroy Legacy Award honors the example of beloved author Pat Conroy and recognizes writers who have achieved a lasting impact on their literary community. Recipients will have shown the following attributes:
Support for independent bookstores, both in their own communities and in general.
Writing that focuses significantly on their own home place.
Demonstrates support of other writers, especially new and emerging authors.
"This is our way of honoring the strong connection and partnership between writers and independent booksellers." says SIBA Executive Director Wanda Jewell, "We are all deeply involved in the literary life, in the life of the book, and in telling the story of our home place."

Noteworthy poetry and prose from her ladyship's bedside reading stack.
![Signals]() ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT 1942, when I was fifteen years old, white racists burned our house to the ground. It was the home I was born in, as were my older sister, Edythe, and my younger brother, Obie Leonard. My father, Obadiah (Obie), had built it with his own hands in 1920, on my grand father’s land. The house was simple and plain, but we felt fortunate to have it. We knew scores of black sharecroppers around us who were not living on their own land, and some of their homes were little more than shacks.
Shortly before bedtime, my parents smelled smoke. In what seemed like minutes, fire whipped through our home. Running for their lives, my parents grabbed my brother, Obie, and made it through the doorway, collapsing onto the grass. My mother’s wails pierced my daddy’s heart. They had escaped the flames with little more than the clothes on their backs. Edythe and I were away, rehearsing for a performance with the school choir. We returned to find that many of our prized possessions (clothes, family albums, our beautiful furniture, and our prized Victrola with the Bessie Smith record collection) were gone. Nothing was left of them but red coals and a dull glob of black vinyl.
Our father hushed our cries and shook us from our misery. “We don’t have time to cry,” he told us. He led us in prayer and told us to give thanks because we still had our lives. He even made us say we forgave those who had destroyed our home.
I repeated the words to please my father, but I am not sure I really meant them.

Recommended reading from Southern Indie Booksellers
![]() Think of The Immortals as like American Gods with considerably less work. Reimagining the Greek gods in modern day New York City, this will appeal to fans of Percy Jackson who are now all grown up as well as those who liked The Magicians. Action packed and a great escape read.
The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky ($15.99, Orbit), recommended by Kelly at Fountain Bookstore, Richmond, VA.
![]() Burning Glass will take you to a world that feels like old Russia. It is full of political tension, especially between two brothers, but it’s Sonya’s job to navigate these tense situations and find a way to protect herself and her country.
Burning Glass by Kathryn Purdie ($17.99, Katherine Tegen Books), recommended by Erica, Lemuria Books, Jackson, MS.
![]() Natasha knows from experience that dreams will get you nowhere, so she keeps herself well-grounded. Even when she's hours away from being deported with her family back to Jamaica. Daniel is a poet at heart, a romantic who believes in fate and destiny, so when he sees a girl standing out from the crowd, he doesn't think twice about ditching his parent-sanctioned college interview to go after her. A series of coincidences have them meeting several times, but is it enough to convince Natasha to believe in the meant-to-be future that Daniel sees? I loved Yoon's gorgeous writing and couldn't help falling in love with the characters myself.
The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon ($18.99, Delacorte Press), recommended by Melissa, Fiction Addiction, Greenville, SC.
![]() MacArthur is brilliant, bold and arrogant. Truman is plain-spoken, patient, and determined. Relying on meeting notes, diary entries, letters, and transcripts of Congressional hearings, this book chronicles the Korean conflict by telling the stories of two very powerful personalities. You read spellbound as the drama plays out. Fascinating behind the scenes history!
The General vs. the President: MacArthur and Truman at the Brink of Nuclear War by H.W. Brands ($30, Doubleday), recommended by Helen at Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NC.
![]() An intimate portayal of the enigmatic and troubled character at its core, Joe Gould's Teeth is both startlingly perceptive and seductively plotted. While providing a thorough study into the life of Joe Gould and his infamous manuscript, Lepore also transports you back into the NYC literary scene of the 1930s-40s. Don't let the size fool you, this is a great quick read with graceful, fast-paced prose and some serious emotional heft.
Joe Gould’s Teeth by Jill Lepore ($24.95, Knopf), recommended by Donovan at Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL.

![]() The life story of Coretta Scott King―wife of Martin Luther King Jr., founder of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change (The King Center), and singular twentieth-century American civil and human rights activist―as told fully for the first time, toward the end of her life, to Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds.
Born in 1927 to daringly enterprising parents in the Deep South, Coretta Scott had always felt called to a special purpose. While enrolled as one of the first black scholarship students recruited to Antioch College, she became politically and socially active and committed to the peace movement. As a graduate student at the New England Conservatory of Music, determined to pursue her own career as a concert singer, she met Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister insistent that his wife stay home with the children. But in love and devoted to shared Christian beliefs as well as shared racial and economic justice goals, she married Dr. King, and events promptly thrust her into a maelstrom of history throughout which she was a strategic partner, a standard bearer, and so much more.
As a widow and single mother of four, she worked tirelessly to found and develop The King Center as a citadel for world peace, lobbied for fifteen years for the US national holiday in honor of her husband, championed for women's, workers’ and gay rights and was a powerful international voice for nonviolence, freedom and human dignity.
Coretta’s is a love story, a family saga, and the memoir of an extraordinary black woman in twentieth-century America, a brave leader who, in the face of terrorism and violent hatred, stood committed, proud, forgiving, nonviolent, and hopeful every day of her life.

What the Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize means to me
![Christine Feehan]() When I was a young writer growing up, I loved reading Pat Conroy’s novels. I cherished The Prince of Tides in particular. I enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of coastal South Carolina, the untamable spirit of Tom’s brother Luke, and so much more. I also loved reading other great Southern writers like Thomas Wolfe, whose rich and rambling sentences I found to be wonderfully dense with human spirit. But for me, time and time again, I always returned to The Prince of Tides as my go-to novel, my true north as a writer. I didn’t have much in common with the characters in the novel, and I didn’t live alongside the golden salt marshes of our southern shores, but there was something in that book’s language and the storytelling that made me 100% sure that I wanted to be a writer. Somehow, someway, I wanted to be a storyteller.
![Signals]() I practiced my writing craft and wrote novels for many years before my first novel, Serafina and the Black Cloak, was published in 2015 by Disney-Hyperion. It’s the story of an unusual little twelve-year-old girl who lives secretly in the basement of the grand Biltmore Estate during George and Edith Vanderbilt’s time. It isn’t like The Prince of Tides or Look Homeward, Angel. We all have our own stories to tell. But it was no coincidence that it was a Southern gothic story in its own way, complete with spooky, mist-filled Blue Ridge Mountains and moss-covered stone angels straight out of Savannah’s Bonaventure Cemetery.
I was deeply appreciative when my novel was well received, and then became a New York Times best seller, because it meant, among other things, that my publisher wanted me to go on tour. They asked me to go on a national tour, and I was excited about doing that someday, but initially, my greatest desire was to tour some of the great cities and small towns of the South, where my book takes place and where I am honored to live. During my travels to various book festivals and events, I found myself in the same room with, and then actually talking with my old hero, Pat Conroy. For me, it was a true blessing to be exchanging stories with a legendary man who had inspired me so deeply and for so long. I found Pat to be such a warm, gregarious, friendly fellow. He loved telling stories to the people around him, but more than that, he wanted to hear your story, to learn the details of your life. I had the impression that he’d been collecting this kindling for the bonfire of his imagination all his life, the stories of real people. One day we signed books together at an outdoor book festival. Another day, we talked in the author’s green room before our respective presentations. A few weeks later, we were at a different event and he happened to step into an elevator with me. He immediately said, “Hello, Robert, how’s your new book coming along?” and we launched into a discussion about the joys and challenges of writing while on the road. Being a writer has many quiet rewards, but this was one of my favorites,
Later, when I heard that Pat had passed away, I was deeply saddened, but I also knew that I had been so fortunate to have met him and talked with him for a little while. When I learned that SIBA’s annual Southern Book Prize had been renamed after Pat Conroy, I thought that it was the perfect name, drawn from an author who had inspired so many readers and writers. And when I was told that my novel Serafina and the Black Cloak had been awarded the 2016 Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize in the Young Readers category, I sat down and shed tears. Not just out of sadness for Pat, although that was part of it, and not just out of gratitude for this high honor, although that was part of it, too, but out of the profound realization of how beautiful the long arcs of fate and time can be for each of us in our own little world.

It was in recognition of this truth that the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance has created a new category in their annual Southern Book Prize: The Conroy Legacy Award.
The life story of Coretta Scott King―wife of Martin Luther King Jr., founder of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change (The King Center), and singular twentieth-century American civil and human rights activist―as told fully for the first time, toward the end of her life, to Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds.
When I was a young writer growing up, I loved reading Pat Conroy’s novels. I cherished The Prince of Tides in particular. I enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of coastal South Carolina, the untamable spirit of Tom’s brother Luke, and so much more. I also loved reading other great Southern writers like Thomas Wolfe, whose rich and rambling sentences I found to be wonderfully dense with human spirit. But for me, time and time again, I always returned to The Prince of Tides as my go-to novel, my true north as a writer. I didn’t have much in common with the characters in the novel, and I didn’t live alongside the golden salt marshes of our southern shores, but there was something in that book’s language and the storytelling that made me 100% sure that I wanted to be a writer. Somehow, someway, I wanted to be a storyteller.
