A Boy from New Orleans

By Betty a Whitson

Hurricane Katrina wreaks havoc on a city... and on a family trying desperately to stay together. In the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina-the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history-forces three young boys from their grandparents' home. Alexander, Andre, and Damien, like thousands of others, find themselves on buses bound for Houston in the wake of the storm, but in the confusion, the brothers become separated. A Boy from New Orleans is the touching story of three boys whose struggle to survive the aftermath of Katrina depends on the generosity of strangers who have also been displaced by the storm of the century. But their determination to find one another comes from deep within-the love of family instilled in them by their grandparents.
