Publisher's Synopsis
August 29, 2005, is a date that will forever be etched in the memory of so many people along the GulfCoast region of Louisiana and Mississippi. It was the date that Hurricane Katrina ravaged the lives of so many people, leaving destruction and turmoil as she stormed through the area. The entire nation watched in horror. Follow the journey of one woman and her family who were determined that the beastly hurricane would not have the last laugh. Life was difficult! For three weeks - longer for some - the people struggled with no electricity, extreme heat, limited water, no phone service, cold food, and rationed gasoline. Family and friends banded together to overcome the catastrophe. Strangers from all across the land flocked in to provide assistance - sometimes just offering a shoulder to cry on. What can get you through something as horrific as the aftermaths of Katrina? For this author, it was God's presence. It was times that I couldn't feel God's presence as I walked through the terrible valley of shadows. Those times were extremely painful for me. Even though there were times I couldn't feel my heavenly Father's presence, I knew He was there. He was walking with me and crying with me and caring for me. He gave me the strength that I didn't know I possessed. He led me and my family through the darkest of days. Others who may be dealing with their own "Katrina's" can draw hope and strength from the journey described by the author.
