A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to benefit the Bayou Fund (through the Helio Foundation), offering financial support to residents of southeastern Louisiana following the Hurricane Ida. This only applies to books you get directly from me! This is a story of survival and rebirth in the bayou following Hurricane Katrina; 16 years later the worst storm since then hit the same area. I thought it would be in the spirit of the story to do this.

When Hurricane Katrina swept everything from its path, Peggy Martin’s famous rose garden was left under 20 feet of water and mud. Everyone thought nothing would recover. But when the water receded, a singe no-name old-fashioned rose stood alone. The rose finally earned a name and brought hope to all for miles around.
