YA
After Hurricane Katrina destroys her beloved Louisiana bayou hometown, Evangeline Riley and her family move temporarily to Atlanta. The turmoil of relocation, entering a new school, facing a loss of income, and adapting to an almost foreign culture wears on everyone in her family. The sense of place is vividly evoked, and Evangeline's circumstances authentically reflect the experiences of Katrina refugees.
