HELL & HIGH WATER
For the first time, The story told from inside the SuperDome
Hurricane Katrina well and truly screwed the lid down on the pressure cooker formerly known as the New Orleans Superdome. More than a weather event, its after-effects stirred intense fear, desperate loss and escalating menace.
Now, for the first time experience what life was like for those trapped inside the Dome. The story from those inside the Dome has yet to be told. We look through the hole in the roof to see what really happened over that tragic week. Victims have faces, fears and life stories. This novel gives them voice, at last.
Free people became inmates imprisoned by water, concrete and scarcity. Over four days that hothouse grew men from boys, women from girls, frightening themselves with their inner strengths and violent capabilities.
For others, their experience in the Dome inside the dome symbolized their life-long struggle. Four hundred years captured in four apocalyptic nights.
And yet from this same noxious field springs romance, humor, redemption and hope.
Journey into the Superdome to move in the shadows, share the smiles and discover the resilient residents of the Superdome as they each live out the most intense days of their lives.
Dedicated to the lost lives and brave survivors of New Orleans.
Inspired by the real- life experiences of the thousands caught in the New Orleans Superdome following the ravages of 2005 Hurricane Katrina, told through the memories of a group of shocked visitors.
