By: Lynette Norris Wilkinson UNTOLD features the riveting true stories of 16 Hurricane Katrina survivors from the New Orleans Lower 9th Ward, an area still devastated almost six years after Hurricane Katrina, and the community where the author grew up. In the book, survivors not only share their struggles of overcoming Hurricane Katrina, but also share their strong messages of faith, hope, and courage. They share their happy memories of living in the close-knit predominately African-American community located less than five miles from World-Famous Bourbon Street. Readers of UNTOLD will also enjoy reading the interesting history of the Lower 9th Ward and how it came to be developed. The book includes stories from men, women, and children of all ages and experiences— The author had the God-inspired idea to write the book because she wants the world to know the stories of the people behind the desperate images shown during media coverage of Hurricane Katrina.” Proceeds from the book will be donated to an organization helping the residents of the Lower 9th Ward recover.
