O knihe
Jack O'Connor was a police officer at the University of Massachusetts for twenty-one years. After retiring from the police department, he moved to New Orleans and was employed as director of security for a New Orleans hotel chain. He was in the hotel where he was based in downtown New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck and devastated the city.
O'Connor uses a blend of poetry and prose to describe what he saw, heard, and felt during the great disaster.

He also describes how an event that brought so much pain and suffering to thousands also brought about some very major positive changes in his life.
