Overview

WHAT ABOUT HURRICANE RITA?

She killed over 120 people and caused $10 billion in damages-and went on record as the fourth worst Atlantic hurricane in history. Yet, with all the media coverage devoted to Hurricane Katrina, few people remember the equally devastating Rita, which struck only three weeks later.

With natural disasters sweeping the U.S. in unprecedented numbers, Americans have become increasingly unable to comprehend the horrors that are left in their wake. National bestselling author Joyce King vividly details Rita's impact and the ordinary citizens of Texas and Louisiana, who exhibited extraordinary courage in the aftermath of disaster. Forgotten Hurricane: Conversations With My Neighbors is a remarkable, candid account of hope, healing and the human spirit.
