Doris with her regular home and regular husband and regular job, and Thea slinking along the edges of society, solitary and invisible. When a storm of biblical proportions strikes, the wayward sisters are begrudgingly forced together as the rain waters rise, each attempting to survive both the flood and each other. One year later, Thea--now calling herself Sestra--floats throughout a ravaged, flood soaked world. Her former life drowned beneath metric tons of water, she and her only companion, Robert, battle starvation, heatstroke, and the monstrous creatures called Posies that appeared alongside the flood.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A sparkling debut set in Mark Twain's boyhood town, Flood is a story of what it means to be lost . . . and found. Laura Brooks fled her hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, ten years ago after a historic flood and personal heartbreak. Now she's returned unannounced, and her family and friends don't know what to make of it. She says she's just home for a brief visit and her high-school reunion, but she's carrying too much luggage for that: literal and metaphorical. Soon Laura is embroiled in small-town affairs -- the contentious divorce of her rowdy best friend Rose; the campaign of her twelve-year-old godson, Bobby, to become the town's official Tom Sawyer; and the renewed interest of the man Laura once thought she'd marry, Sammy McGuire. Leaving town when she was eighteen had been Laura's only option. She feared a stifling existence in a town ruled by its past, its mythological devotion to Mark Twain, and the economic and racial divide that runs as deep as the Mississippi River. She can't forget that fateful Fourth of July when the levees broke or the decisions that still haunt her. Now as the Mississippi rises again, a deep wound threatens to reopen, and Laura must decide if running away once more might be the best way to save herself.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Ten years in the making, Gary Rivlin's Katrina is "a gem of a book--well-reported, deftly written, tightly focused.a starting point for anyone interested in how The City That Care Forgot develops in its second decade of recovery" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southeast Louisiana. A decade later, journalist Gary Rivlin traces the storm's immediate damage, the city of New Orleans's efforts to rebuild itself, and the storm's lasting effects not just on the area's geography and infrastructure--but on the psychic, racial, and social fabric of one of this nation's great cities. Much of New Orleans still sat under water the first time Gary Rivlin glimpsed the city after Hurricane Katrina as a staff reporter for The New York Times. Four out of every five houses had been flooded. The deluge had drowned almost every power substation and rendered unusable most of the city's water and sewer system. Six weeks after the storm, the city laid off half its workforce--precisely when so many people were turning to its government for help. Meanwhile, cynics both in and out of the Beltway were questioning the use of taxpayer dollars to rebuild a city that sat mostly below sea level. How could the city possibly come back? "Deeply engrossing, well-written, and packed with revealing stories.Rivlin's exquisitely detailed narrative captures the anger, fatigue, and ambiguity of life during the recovery, the centrality of race at every step along the way, and the generosity of many from elsewhere in the country" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Katrina tells the stories of New Orleanians of all stripes as they confront the aftermath of one of the great tragedies of our age. This is "one of the must-reads of the season" (The New Orleans Advocate). …

The other is born of the Spirit, holy, and filled with hope and power. Which tidal wave are you and your family destined to catch?Like a Flood. We all see it coming-the large, dark wall of secular culture that is crashing over the shores of our homes and nation. It is turning safety and truth upside down and drowning our identity as Christians and making us outcasts in a land that once was known as a nation of freedom, with In God We Trust as its motto. As the identity and godly values that once were the foundation of our great nation are being drowned in the undertow of secular sin, confusion, spiritual darkness and fear, we look to the heavens and ask, What are we to do now, God? At the same time, another force is forming over the surface of the deep. It is dwarfing the tidal wave of darkness. It is?Like a Flood. But this flood is released from the very gates of heaven. Like a flood, the Lord shall raise up a standard. This is a flood of hope, boldness, truth, and spiritual power rushing forth over the earth pushing back the dark wave of sin, despair and hopelessness. Like a flood, He sweeps into our homes, our churches, and over our nation with the power and boldness we need to stand on the Word that is impossible to be voted out or silenced. In this book, Like a Flood, Lisa Cherry explains the darkness we are facing as Christians and as a nation. She also examines the Scriptures and shows us that this is the day we have been preparing for. It is not time for us to run and hide. We have been created for such a time as this.

Others will be swept away unnecessarily in the waves of doubt, confusion, compromise and discouragement.Which tidal wave will you and your family catch.…

In the tradition of Silent Spring, a modern parable of the American experience and our paradoxical relationship with the natural world. Though it seems a part of the "natural" landscape of New England today, the Swift River Valley reservoir, dam, dike, and nature area was a triumph of civil engineering.  It combined forward-looking environmental stewardship and social policy, yet the ?little people??and the four towns in which they lived?got lost along the way.  Elisabeth Rosenberg has crafted Before the Flood to be both a modern and a universal story in a time when managed retreat will one day be a reality.  Meticulously researched, Before the Flood, is the first narrative book on the incredible history of the Swift River Valley and the origins Quabbin Reservoir.
