The book contains extensive interviews from evacuees, residents, disaster aid workers, and a host of other folks affected by Katrina and her aftermath. There has been much conflicting information in the media about the disaster. This book is being written to convey the stories and impact the disaster had on those folks who experienced her wrath first hand.

It speaks to the majesty of the human spirit that can emerge in all during times of calamity.
