Here, for the first time outside the pages of a small Island
newspaper called Georgia’s Coastal Illustrated, Eugenia
shares with her worldwide reading public, some of what life was
like during the first years in which she and her best friend and
fellow writer, Joyce Blackburn, were becoming Islanders.Â
“These short pieces,” Genie says, “include my observations
day by day of what it was like, at last, to be at home on St.
Simons. We were learning how to be neighbors, after so many years
of complex life in the huge northern city of Chicago; learning how
to care deeply for people with whom, at first glance, we had little
in common. We were understanding what it really meant to
have come home.” Eugenia Price, called by many St.
Simons’ own “beloved invader,” tells you here about those
early years as they were being lived. Her St. Simons Memoir,
cherished by thousands, was written from memory and notes in old
desk calendars, but At Home on St. Simons illuminates
some of the experiences which most changed her—as they occurred.
More than fourteen million people have read Eugenia Price’s books
which have been translated into fifteen languages. Much of the
magic these millions remember so vividly years after the reading,
began in the simple, sad, joyous, and absorbing events related to
this singular volume. Never before published is a brand new opening
chapter, in which Ms. Price attempts to explain—almost as to
herself—why, in the face of such drastic change on the once
provincial little coastal island, she is still–at home on St.
Simons. Her readers do not have to see the Island firsthand, to
recognize their own response to her sense of place.
