Description

Low Country A Southern Memoir by J. Nicole Jones is a deeply personal and lyrical memoir that explores the complexities of one family's history in the Low Country of South Carolina. Growing up, J. Nicole Jones was surrounded by contradictions - her family's wealth and poverty, their privilege and violence, their traditions and traumas. Her childhood was marked by extremes: from the opulence of her family's hotels to the struggles of everyday life; from the stories of ghosts and folklore to the harsh realities of abuse and neglect. This memoir is a powerful exploration of the landscapes and legends that shaped Jones' childhood home, a region haunted by its history. Through her own story, she pays homage to the complex and often fraught relationships within her family, and to the ways in which the past continues to shape our lives today.
