A Disaster Begins

"Seeking order in a life, a war, and a deluge...(with) cleareyed passion." - The New York Times

A lone woman's unbreakable bond with the hurricane that devastated the Texas island of Galveston in 1900, taking 6,000 lives in a single night. With only a pitcher of water and drinking glass she unravels the shocking truth behind this disaster, weaving in tales of presidential corruption, pubescent despair, patriotic fervor, pre-marital passion and paralyzing writer's block.
