This book serves as a remembrance of what happened to his family, his school, and the students from New Orleans who became "double evacuees" as Rita approached, as well as the places that were completely destroyed and long forgotten by the national media, most notably Cameron Parish. Author Stan Weeber concludes with thoughts about the social policy implications of the events told throughout the book.
Review: Dr. Weeber's work reveals that the 2005 hurricanes have many more significant meanings for academicians beyond analyses of the Bush administration or unresolved issues of poverty and race in the United States or global warming. He has emerged as one of the most sensitive voices as both a scholar and a community member--recording not just the effect of Rita upon western Louisiana or Katrina upon New Orleans Southeastern or simply their effects upon his professional life. (Michael Mizell-Nelson )
