Raised in a strict Irish-Pol­ish Catholic fam­i­ly, from an ear­ly age Mary Glick­man felt an affin­i­ty toward Judaism and con­vert­ed to the faith when she mar­ried. After liv­ing in Boston for twen­ty years, she and her hus­band trav­eled to South Car­oli­na and dis­cov­ered a love for all things South­ern. Glick­man now lives in Seabrook Island, South Carolina.
