Coastal South Carolina was among the first places in the New World to be settled. Among the plantations in the Charleston District, part of which was to become Berkeley County, were four overlapping the area that was later to be established as the city of Hanahan. Following the Civil War, as the plantations were broken up into many small farms and the city of Charleston expanded, a search began for a nearby, new source of fresh water to replace water from contaminated wells. That search led to Goose Creek, where, in 1903, a dam was built and a pumping station established, named Hanahan for the chairman of the Charleston Water Commission. Military installations and housing, thriving businesses, and schools began to meet the needs of the developing community. Hanahan would grow over the years and incorporate into a city in 1973, known for its beautiful landscape and community culture. Today, Hanahan is the heart of the Lowcountry in location and, most importantly, in spirit. Despite its growth, it maintains the original small-town feel, drawing and keeping people into this community that they love.

It is what it is. People often say this when faced with unpleasant, unavoidable events. Whether we consider the phrase to be an annoying cliché or a useful reminder, it’s difficult to argue with the logic. It is what it is, so we might as well make our peace with it. But we stumble when the time comes to apply this wisdom. Whether it's an ill-timed computer crash, an upsetting diagnosis, or a global pandemic, accepting a bad situation is hard. And what if we can change it? The world would be quite different if Jonas Salk had accepted polio, or if members of the civil rights movement had accepted racial inequality. So. Is it what it is? Taking us on a journey into the heart of this question, Book of iiwii provides thought-provoking insights on surrendering, resisting, and figuring out when which approach is right.
