Description
A
story of leadership and compassion witnessed following Hurricane Katrina
Herrington weaves gripping details of the lives of people, businesses, and
entire cities that were temporarily reversed and permanently altered by one of
the most catastrophic storms in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina.
But from the destruction emerged a humanitarian response on a scale that few
people will ever experience.
Contraflow is a tribute to the civic, corporate, and educational leaders who
stepped up to show leadership and compassion and to provide critical resources
and hope in the aftermath of a devastating storm.
