2005 was a record-breaking year for hurricanes--and for the political blame game left amidst all the devastation and heartache. This book retraces Rita's devastation and its extraordinary impact, then and now, on the lives of ordinary people. The resulting first-person accounts are compelling, enraging, redeeming. King ropes you to the hearts of her subjects. Her familiarity with hurricanes--she lists them like old friends--enables King to tune into her beleaguered neighbors' voices.
