Alexandra's comments from the Friends who write group.

I always considered myself a non-fiction writer. My first book, "No Place to Call Home", detailed my father's experiences in the Soviet concentration camps in Siberia and his later war adventures. But my newest book "A Katrina Moment" is fiction, although it is based on factual events. It uses Katrina to symbolize the destruction caused by prejudice.

Thank you. I just got my books yesterday. But I would love a review. Would you be interested?

A Katrina Moment relates the tale of two lovers who decide to stay in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Throughout the days of the storm and its aftermath, the two band together with the other survivors and create a new order. Stripped of any social pretensions, the diverse remnants of the town unite to create a very different society. The holdouts labor side-by-side assisting in the massive relief efforts. Katrina wielded catastrophic destruction but this contrasts sharply with the depth of humanity that is created. Prejudice inside the sanctuary of the French Quarter is suddenly non-existent.
