"The Storm After" is a historical fiction novel about the 1900 Galveston Hurricane – the deadliest hurricane in US history.

Native Texan Gina Hooten Popp has released her first novel The Storm After—a compelling historical fiction tale of four strangers who come together in the aftermath of the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900—the deadliest hurricane in US history. More than 6,000 people died that fateful day and the island was left a sea of brokenness. As the four diverse strangers cling to each other amidst the devastation in an attempt to survive, they change each other in ways they never would have imagined. It's a gripping tale that is more than a story about a tragic storm, it's about human spirit triumphing over unimaginable adversity.



Excerpt

GALVESTON ISLAND
Sunday Morning
September 9, 1900

JOHN
Ah, Mother o’ God, how did I survive? Morning sun beat down on my Irish soul and heavy sea-laden humidity hit me full in the face. I was floating on a door. It rocked back and forth as it settled on a mile-high pile of debris. Last night in the storm, the door caught in a whirlpool. Round and round I went as the hurricane and the ocean raged.
