Hurricane Audrey: The Deadly Storm of 1957
Reviews/EndorsementsFrom Senator W.L. Mount, (D) Louisiana -- "A fascinating account of  one of the greatest tragedies on the Gulf Coast.  This book is fabulous . .I could not put it down.  Cathy Post, a native but only a child at the  time, brings Hurricane Audrey to life again . . . with tragedy, horror,  love stories, heroism and the mysteries of nature!  This book is compelling  and the reader will find himself absorbed with every family and the  challenges each faced. The author grabs the very fabric of every emotion as  she takes you through the storm. After the State of Louisiana and her  people faced two killer hurricanes (three weeks apart) in 2005, reading  this book raised the level of appreciation for the people of the Gulf Coast  . . . their love for each other, the land, their culture, their faith and  their strength."E.R. Jung, author of "Testimonial to a Habit" states -- "A  compelling page turner . . . this book is riveting.  Cathy Post knows her  subject well -- this spell-binding account of Hurricane Audrey which  overtook the Gulf Coast town of Cameron, Louisiana in 1957. Her chilling   historical narrative sweeps us into its black waters along with the   families struggling for survival, giving this reader some vivid memories of  infested flotsome and debris which haunted me for days. For the victims  stranded in the swamps, the aftermath of Hurricane Audrey is packed with  suspense.  This is the author's first book . . . I hope it will not be her  last. I could not put the book down."
