Description
Lanesha lives in a tight-knit community in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, where she has Mama Ya-Ya, her fiercely loving caretaker. When Mama Ya-Ya's visions show a powerful hurricane approaching, it's up to Lanesha to call upon the hope and strength Mama Ya-Ya has given her to help them both survive the storm.
This deeply emotional story is about transformation and resilience in the face of disaster. With its celebration of friendship, family, and love, Ninth Ward explores what happens when we come together to support each other through life's toughest challenges.
