There have been many books written and published about Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Few, however, are written from one person's personal experiences. 'Mac' McAlister began visiting Pawleys Island with his family in the 1940's. He spent part of his high school summers and three college summers on the 'arrogantly shabby' island, living in the back of the Pawleys Island Drugstore and observing what went on at the Lafayette Pavilion. Returning from active duty in the Navy in 1960, he lived on Pawleys Island, serving as the planner and overseer of the new Pawley Pavilion.
