Description
Set against the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina, this novel tells the story of Saint, a young boy with confidence as big as his name is long. He earns money playing clarinet for tourists and has a loyal companion in his stray dog Shadow.
When the city orders evacuation, Saint refuses to leave without Shadow, and they flee to his neighbor's attic. As the storm intensifies, Saint must find a way to save himself and those he cares about.
This vivid portrayal of life in pre-Katrina New Orleans provides a powerful exploration of hope, resilience, and community in the face of disaster.
