520    "A powerfully moving book . . . You will laugh, you will 
       weep, you will be proud and you will rail." -Charleston 
       News and Courier  Yamacraw Island was haunting, nearly 
       deserted, and beautiful. Separated from the mainland of 
       South Carolina by a wide tidal river, it was accessible 
       only by boat. But for the handful of families that lived 
       on Yamacraw, America was a world away. For years these 
       families lived proudly from the sea until waste from 
       industry destroyed the oyster beds essential to their very
       existence. Already poor, they knew they would have to face
       an uncertain future unless, somehow, they learned a new 
       life. But they needed someone to teach them, and their 
       rundown schoolhouse had no teacher.  The Water Is Wide is 
       Pat Conroy's extraordinary memoir based on his experience 
       as one of two teachers in a two-room schoolhouse, working 
       with children the world had pretty much forgotten. It was 
       a year that changed his life, and one that introduced a 
       group of poor Black children to a world they did not know 
       existed.  "A hell of a good story." -The New York Times  
       "[Pat] Conroy cuts through his experiences with a sharp 
       edge of irony. . . . He brings emotion, writing talent and
       anger to his story." -Baltimore Sun
