"A Real Small Town" by Patricia E. Watts (reprise from March 2020)

Coming from the Mountain West fifty years ago, a new bride discovered what “small town” really meant in South Carolina.

This episode was the first of Season 2 and began the sharing of stories from “That Southern Thing—living, loving. laughing, loathing, leaving the South,” the third anthology of the Personal Story Publishing Project. We hope you enjoy it again.

Patricia E. Watts lives in Mountville, South Carolina, where the love of local and family history has given her a passion to write stories to pass down to her children. She has found that through stories of tragedies, tears, and triumphs and even mysteries she has a rich heritage worth telling.
