This was a very disturbing book to read. Much has been written and related about the inhumane treatment of the remaining population in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina and the levy failures. This narrative takes you through one family's terrible adventure of a society breaking down when solidarity was so much needed. It is interesting , heartbreaking and downright scarry that the things that happened could be allowed to happen here in America. Not only that they happened, but this that those who perpetrated them are just let to go on their merry way with no punishment. More people should read this book to prepare for such things to happen again, because without punishment they definitely will. There is no doubt.
