This powerful tale of the evolution of the relationship between a boy and his father, played out against the devastation caused by the hurricane, is a quick but indelible read. The power of the storm and the hellish conditions in the Superdome are vividly and succinctly described. Readers will empathize with Miles as he attempts to do the right thing in extraordinary conditions, and acquits himself like a man.
...Hurricane Song wonderfully and vividly and realistically describes the horrors and joys that Miles and other hurricane evacuees endured. It is a book of hope, blending human conditions, music, faith and compassion. It is a must read for everyone, young and old
