Fabulous book, inspiration for the movie titled "Conrack", starring John Voight. A true story of a teacher who begins his teaching career by teaching a group of illiterate, poor black children on an island off of South Carolina. The author, Pat Conroy, went on to become a renowned author of such books as "The Lords of Discipline" and "The Prince of Tides"
