description: ALMOST GONE"I never imagined that I'd ever get divorced. I never imagined that I'd have cancer, or lose a baby, then have a second cancer. Nor did I ever imagine that a hurricane would almost destroy my hometown, worst of all that I'd end up happily married to a Yankee" writes Carol Lander in this marvelous collection of moving and often hysterical stories of life in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi and beyond.Having survived a variety of "natural disasters" with her wit, wisdom, charm, and (especially) sense of humor intact, Carol Lander has written a beautiful elegy to her native soil, forever changed by Hurricane Katrina, and a marvelous collection of inspiring and often hysterical stories.The book moves the reader to recall that every Day is a gift and that no disaster is insurmountable for those of intrepid spirit and unfailing sense of humor. Almost Gone reminds us that our we have the power to preserve precious memories and use them to sustain and entertain us in hours of darkness as well as times of joy.
