The South I Knew Christian Monroe Holliday Douglas

The South I Knew is an intimate, time-woven celebration of the five generations of Southern tradition, lore, beauty, and appreciation for life's simple treasures - being passed down through stories to the author's three children and a world of readers. Set primarily in the historic regions of Horry County, South Carolina, this classic book features stories of a culture both breathtaking and roughscrabble, beautiful and ornery, complicated in its personal intrigues, yet simple and sweet in its lifestyle. Join author Christian Monroe Holliday Douglas - a fourth-generation native of the region - in this moving tribute to the land and people she loves. Weaving her stories in a voice resonating with pure Southern storytelling magic, Mrs. Douglas mixes the humorous with the tragic, the poignant with the light-hearted. She takes us by the hand, says "let me tell y'all a story," and guides us into the heart of every tale - often with the wink of a green eye and a laugh that is full of life.
