Called "one of the rawest specimens of classic Nawlins spitfire you'll ever find" by Newsweek, and featured in Spike Lee's HBO documentary When the Levees Broke, Phyllis Montana-Leblanc gives an astounding and poignant account of how she and her husband lived through one of our nations's worst disasters, and continue to put their lives back together.

Excerpt
Page 20:
"August 29, 2005. Hurricane Katrina is just beginning to flick her tongue at the city I have called home my entire life:New Orleans, Louisiana.

Reader Reviews for "Not Just The Levees Broke My Story During and After Hurricane Katrina"

Reviewed by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner 11/16/2008
Just got this book at our local library: "Not Just the Levees Broke" is a story about fear. About loss. About life. About finding oneself again. A powerful read that will take the reader into the heart of the storm and its aftermath on a city and on its residents, on a nation still recovering ... thank God, this young lady didn't lose her soul. It is the vibrant heartbeat of a city slowly coming back.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

On limited income: I get extra money, I'm ordering a copy of this must read book. :)
