Description
The wind was screaming around their house, banging at the shutters and threatening the roof. On that fateful night, the Van Rossem family's peaceful home became a scene of chaos as the dikes that held back the sea began to fail. As the water poured in, the people of the Netherlands rallied together to search for those missing and to work tirelessly to prevent further disaster. This gripping tale tells the story of one such event, five years after the devastating flood of January 31, 1953, which remains the worst flood in over five hundred years. Through the bravery and resilience of the Dutch people, Alta Halverson Seymour brings to life a harrowing account of a night that will be remembered for generations.
