Let us know at contact@patconroyliterarycenter.org \nWe want to build our community of writers and an appreciation for the art and talent of new\, emerging\, and long-time writers. Thank you for supporting this partnership! \nEvent Facebook Page \nAbout our author:\nAbagail Summers is a Lowcountry author of short stories\, poetry\, and novels—including Life with a Bird Out the Window (2014)\, Forgiving the Past (2020)\, The Untold Legacy (2021)\, and her newest release\, After the Storm (2025). \nTwo of her short stories\, Shining Light and Claire De Lune\, were published in the anthology An Iron Fist in A Velvet Glove\, and both were awarded honorable mention in the Globe Soup 7-Day Writing Contest. Summers earned her BA in Communication Studies from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is a member of several writing groups\, including Write Like You Mean It\, Kingsbridge Writers Circle\, Writers Beyond Borders\, Charlotte Lit\, and Main Street Writes\, She has been regular participant in the Pat Conroy Literary Center’s Open Mic Nights. \n  \nAbout After the Storm\nJune Waters walks away from the country music business at the height of her popularity\, leaving people wondering why. But only she knows why. Not even the people closest to her know what’s happening inside her head or her heart. To make matters worse\, her dad is dying from lung cancer and can no longer run the farm on his own\, which has put her family in jeopardy of losing it all. Against their will\, June moves her absent husband and resentful daughter to her hometown of Franklin\, Tennessee. But when she’s there\, her past weaves its way back into her life\, leaving her with many questions about who she is. Not only that\, but the hourglass has been turned\, the bank starts the foreclosure process. As she balances on the high wire of life\, she must make an agonizing choice: Fight for the land she loves by heading back to Nashville with her pride tucked back into her pocket\, or become the mother her daughter needs her to be. \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.
