From his hometown paper:

Despite familial outrage; what he wrote could withstand scrutiny.

I discovered him with "The Water Is Wide", read when I was in high school.

RIP, Pat.
You will be missed.

I just read The Water is Wide this week for my book challenge; I actually finished it yesterday.

RIP, Mr. Conroy.
