SUMMARY:An Evening with Halle Hill\, author of Good Women
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 7\, 2023 – 5:00-6:30 PM EDT\nPrice: Free\nRegistration: Seating is limited; please call to reserve your spot: 843-379-7025.\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \n“A stunning slow burn brimming with observation\, emotion\, and incident.”—Kirkus Reviews\, Starred Review \nThe nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with award-winning writer Halle Hill\, author of the newly published story collection\, Good Women\, on Thursday\, December 7\, at 5:00 p.m.\, at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.). Books will be available for sale and signing. Please register in advance at 843-379-7025. \nAbout Good Women\n“In Halle Hill’s Good Women\, we meet mothers and daughters\, lovers and friends\, saints and aint’s––all longing for something\, some place\, someone. They are curious\, messy\, and determined\, and Hill’s fierce and dazzling pen lets us feel every ounce of their complicated desires. Every mistake\, every realization\, every triumph\, every tragedy. This is a fantastic firecracker of a collection I’ll return to again and again!”—Deesha Philyaw\, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies \n“This heralds a bright new talent.”—Publishers Weekly \nIn her dynamic debut\, Halle Hill’s Good Women delves into the lives of twelve Black women across the Appalachian South. A woman boards a Greyhound bus barreling toward Florida to meet her sugar daddy’s mother; a state fair employee considers revenge on a local preacher; a sister struggles with guilt as she helps her brother plan to run away with a man he’s seeing in secret; a young woman who works for a scam for-profit college navigates the lies she sells for a living. \nDarkly funny and deeply human\, Good Women observes how place\, blood ties\, generational trauma\, obsession\, and boundaries―or lack thereof―influence how we navigate our small worlds\, and how those worlds so often collide in ways we don’t expect. Through intimate moments of personal choice\, Hill carefully shines a light on how these twelve women shape and form themselves through faith and abandon\, transgression and conformity\, community\, caution\, and solitude. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nHalle Hill is from East Tennessee and lives in Winston-Salem\, North Carolina. A graduate of Maryville College and the M.F.A. Writing program at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)\, she is the winner of the 2021 Crystal Wilkinson Creative Writing Prize and was a finalist for the 2021 ASME Award for Fiction. Her short stories have been published in Joyland\, New Limestone Review\, Southwest Review\, and The Oxford American\, where she won the 2020 Debut Fiction Prize. https://hallehill.com \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.

Each crawl is the complete recipe for the perfect tourist day\, a new way to experience your own city\, or simply great food stories to enjoy from home. Put on your walking shoes and your stretchy pants and dig into Savannah one dish at a time. \nJesse Blanco is\, without question\, one of Savannah’s most recognizable personalities. His laid-back style and ability to connect with viewers and readers remain his calling card following a 24-year career in television news. During his 5 years as primary news anchor at the local FOX affiliate\, Jesse always found creative ways to connect with his audience. That talent extended to his weekly column in the Savannah Morning News\, which very quickly became one of the paper’s most popular features from 2012 to 2018. \nIn 2010\, Jesse and his business partner created a blog and later a television show dedicated to the underappreciated side of Savannah’s food scene. Four years later\, Savannah’s food scene exploded and Eat It and Like It found itself sitting in the front row to witness it all. Since 2014 he’s been the Savannah area’s only full-time food writer. This year\, his first book documenting Savannah’s food scene\, Savannah Food Crawls\, was published\, to be followed next year by Charleston Food Crawls. \nJesse was born in California but calls Miami his hometown. Having been raised in a very large Cuban-American family where the genetic makeup consists of food\, music\, dancing\, laughing\, and friendship. Throw in an insatiable desire to travel and explore and you get someone who is only happy learning or trying new things. Jesse is married with one child. \nABOUT THE INTERVIEWERS\nJesse will be interviewed by husband and wife writers Lynn and Cele Seldon\, the authors of 100 Things to Do in Savannah Before You Die\, 100 Things to Do in Charleston Before You Die\, and countless travel and food articles appearing in local\, regional\, and national publications. \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
