Description
"This is the story of how one resident of New Orleans, John Lee, survived the physical storm only to be caught up in the maelstrom of social anarchy that followed. The climax of which was the burial of Miss Vera. It is Miss Vera?s grave, more than anything else, that has come to symbolize the abandonment the Katrina survivors experienced and the resilience and hope for recovery that made them survivors" -- publisher website (March 2007).
