Book: Pawleys Island: Stories from the Porch
Synopsis: More than two decades after the Pawleys Island Civic Association published this treasured book of memories and years after the passing of many of the 40 stories' authors, a new edition – with an updated introductory note and island history by contributing author and book editor Lee G. Brockington; fresh nostalgic photos from the extensive collection PICA contributed to the Georgetown County Library Archives; and a heartwarming new cover painting by artist Maura Kenny – is available to become your treasured book of porch stories. As "Walter Edgar's Journal" recounted: "Nature is a dominant presence in almost every single account. For most, one of the greatest attractions is the benevolent landscape – ocean, sand, sun, and marsh. You need to understand that this island is not simply a vacation spot. It is an experience. In today's busy world where people resort to aroma therapy and other fads in an attempt to relax and unwind, those who get to Pawleys need no treatment. Just being on the island is enough to rejuvenate an obsessed workaholic. Screen porches are still the location of choice for reading, napping, visiting, and swapping tales. Despite Hugo and beachfront development, Pawleys is still Pawleys. It is a place; it is a lifestyle; it is memorable; 'it's still glorious.'"
