First sentence: Most of the readers of these letters are probably familiar with the simpler facts Flannery O'Connor's life: that she was born in Savannah, Georgia, on March 25, 1925, the only only child of Edward Francis O'Connor and Regina Cline O'Connor; that she moved to Milledgeville, Georgia, her mother's birthplace, when she was twelve years old, after her father had fallen gravely ill.
