From the Waterfront Park in Beaufort, South Carolina, Patti Just meets with Valerie Sayers, who reflects on how her upbringing in Beaufort, South Carolina, continues to inspire her writing. This is evident in her novels Due East, How I Got Him Back, and Who Do You Love, which are all set in the fictional town, Due East, inspired by Beaufort.
Sayers’ work explores many themes like family, religion, identity, and romance, inspired by real-life experiences. Sayers also reflects on moving to New York, her journey into writing, and her plans for a 4th novel.
Patti Just, host of the Writers' Circle of South Carolina, talks with authors and poets from across the state and country whose work highlights South Carolina’s rich history, diverse culture, and people.
