“I was one of those people who questioned why people didn't evacuate New Orleans ahead of Hurricane Katrina. The news coverage didn't shed much light on why some people decided to or needed to stay. This book takes readers inside the lives of nine people who played different roles during the storm and afterwards. It was so powerful to experience the storm from this perspective - how it impacted and devastated the lives of the people of New Orleans. It looked tragic to us on the outside, but this book details how truly horrific it was on the inside.”
