Outside, in the fresh air, no kids, no music, just me and my feet on the road. Something about moving my body and the flow of endorphins gets my brain working in a different way than if I'm just sitting at my desk staring at the computer screen.

It's still fluid at this point, but it takes place in a small riverside town near the Gulf of Mexico. There's a wide cast of characters (I always love to write those!) and two older sisters and mysteries and young love and older love and seashells. (less)

A fascinating book for anyone who follows the weather, particularly hurricanes on the Gulf coast. I don’t know anyone who does narrative nonfiction as well as Erik Larson. Audiobook narration was perfection.
