Book Overview

More than a century later, the Galveston hurricane of 1900 is still the largest natural disaster in American history. Pounding most of the historic island city to rubble, and claiming perhaps as many as eight thousand lives, the storm stranded Galveston's stunned survivors without a bridge to the mainland.

I LOVED this book! 5 stars!!!

I LOVE this book! The story was well written and it had suspense and thrill; I felt like I was there alongside J.T., fighting out the Great Storm that hit Galveston, Texas in 1900. I couldn't stop reading! This fantasic story kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. Written in first person, the descriptions are wonderful, and the deatails are simply breathtaking. The author did a terrific job of describing the events that actually happened on that terrible day in 1900. The diary by J.T. is told with feeling and emotion, and J.T. is a wonderful character to include in the story. This book is one of my favorites, and I can't wait to read more books by Lisa Waller Rogers. I recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!
