Synopsis

This Young Adult novel gives a firsthand view of what it must have felt like for a high school girl named Sumbie in New Orleans to survive staying in the city during Hurricane Katrina. And she survived much more: her family stayed because her baby sister was in intensive care at a nearby hospital. When the infant is kidnapped from the PICU, and Sumbie's family must evacuate to Houston, mystery and slow-building romance ensue.
