Genevieve C. Peterkin

Heaven is a Beautiful Place

A Memoir of the South Carolina Coast in Conversation with William P. Baldwi

Buch

Born in 1928 in the small coastal town of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Genevieve Sister” Peterkin grew up with World War II bombing practice in her front yard, deep-sea fishing expeditions, and youthful rambles through the lowcountry. But most of all she listened. She absorbed the tales of her mother, and listened to the stories of the region's older residents. In this new edition she once again shares with readers her insider's knowledge of the lowcountry plantations, gardens, and beaches.
