Book excerpt: In the late 1800s, a small barrier island was located off the coast of Louisiana and was a popular resort for the socialites or New Orleans and surrounding areas. Dave Morgan saw Isle Demieres as his chance for a better life and his escape from the city where he lived with Mrs. Buckley near the red-light district of New Orleans. Dave’s carefully planned trip happened to be the same weekend of the deadliest storm to ever hit the coast. Drawing from documents, letters, and newspaper accounts, Ms. Trimm has written a powerful narrative of compassion and survival.
