Windswept

I read this book several years ago and absolutely loved it! Could not remember name and after doing extensive Internet searches, finally found it! This story has stuck with me since I read it. Couldnt put it down. So worth the time.

I read this 1985 book a couple of years ago. I liked it well enough to keep it to read again one day.It took the reader back to 1900 to experience, along with the hero and heroine, the powerful hurricane that devastated Galveston, Texas and killed thousands of people.The story was written in such a way that the reader could imagine being right in the middle of the powerful winds and pelting rain that brought unrelenting floodwaters.There were some heart wrenching scenes, that were so sad particularly when you know that that tens of thousands of people actually went through that hurricane. I believe it is the worst hurricane ever to hit the United States as far as the loss of human life is calculated.
