From the introduction:

I had the spectacular good fortune of being born to a city that is latitudinarian in its ideals, hallmarked by its seaside idyll, and populated by generations of indefatigably proud people. Charleston is a cocoon of gentility surrounded by a sensuous landscape of verdant tea olives, majestic magnolias, and undulating coastal dunes that we lovingly call the Lowcountry.
