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.
