Back Cover:

Surviving this hurricane might be easier than living with Grandma.

Three generations. One tiny apartment on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. And a storm like no one has experienced before.

Jessie is a sharp, inquisitive girl. She and her mom Anna struggle to ride the unpredictable waves of Grandma’s demands, but they can barely keep their head above water.

When Hurricane Katrina batters their home, Jessie must confront the storm surge and her own self-talk. As she endures and perseveres, Jessie learns that resilience is not just about preparation, and Grandma has her own survival stories.

“Katrina surely did a number on our Gulf Coast, and the author describes the storm’s power and damage in realistic detail. I admire Jessie as she takes charge while going through all the trials and emotions of teenage years.”
