Josephine Humphreys grew up in Charleston, South Carolina with her mother, father and two sisters (Vinh).
Her mother worked for the Charleston Museum (Josephine Humphreys full-length interview for Envision SC).
What her father did not realize, though, was that Duke was anything but the "southern school" he imagined (Josephine Humphreys full-length interview for Envision SC).
Rich in Love, probably her best-known novel, was made into a 1992 film of the same title directed by Bruce Beresford, from a screenplay by Alfred Uhry, starring Albert Finney and Jill Clayburgh.
One book in particular, Fireman's Fair was rewritten in three months because of the hurricane and its significant impact on the landscape(Magee).
