Review Quotes:
This small gem of a book collects five group interviews conducted with bestselling author Pat Conroy and four of his siblings: Mike, Jim, Tim, and Kathy. The abundance of joy present in the siblings' exchanges about painful events, often expressed in teasing, underscores the message of South Carolina poet Nikky Finney's afterword: that 'the art of the conversation has the power to save each of us.' For fans of Conroy's books, this is a must-read.
