Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating storms to hit the US. Most of the attention is focused on the destruction in New Orleans, but the Mississippi Gulf Coast experienced untold damage as well. Bay St. Louis and Waveland, Mississippi, were ground zero for Katrina's landfall. But for all its fury, Katrina brought miracles along with its trials. Blown Together is a collection of over twenty-five true accounts of the impact of this storm on families and communities as well as the beautiful unity and cooperation it brought from volunteers near and far. "The cover of Blown Together: The Trials and Miracles of Katrina says it all-many came together, lending a hand to be a blessing to those in need. Fr. Sebastian has eloquently woven the tragic events of Katrina with the beauty of neighbors and strangers coming together. It helps us realize that we can find good even in our darkest hour." -Robin Roberts, co-anchor, Good Morning America, proud Mississippian
