About this title

From the Author:

The Memory of Water is set in the real town of McClellanville, South Carolina, a small shrimping town nestled along Highway 17 between Charleston and Pawleys Island (the settings for 2008's The House on Tradd Street and 2005's The Color of Light, respectively). I love this area of the country; there is something about the smell of the pluff mud and the fragile hold of Spanish moss that can steal a person's heart. It's a ripe setting for stories about family secrets and unconditional love--and a lure for this author to return to again and again in fiction and in real life.
