Bring Your Own Sheets: Tales from a Charleston Bed and Breakfast

Ever imagine what it would be like to run a bed and breakfast in one of the world's most beautiful cities? In this hilarious memoir, former international business executive and lawyer Brian McGreevy tells the tale of restoring an 18th century house South of Broad as a charming bed and breakfast that was soon attracting guests from all over the world. Featured in Fodor's Best Bed and Breakfasts in America as well as InStyle Magazine, the McGreevys' B&B provides the stage for a year of adventure as the family, guests, and staff join in the capers and mirth in the heart of the historic district near the Battery. Lovers of Charleston will relish the chance to escape by living vicariously through this story, a cross between Peter Mayle's "A Year in Provence" and Herman Wouk's "Don't Stop the Carnival." Having grown up in Charleston, with the requisite rites of passage in Charleston like attending Mrs. Whaley's Cotillion and graduating from prestigious Porter-Gaud School, McGreevy is a Charleston insider whose love for this beautiful city shines through his descriptions of its changing seasons. Featuring a cast of characters including loony tour guides, misplaced Yankees, and woozy housekeepers, these tales will keep you laughing while at the same time making you want to plan another trip to Charleston!
