You slide into this story and are immersed in the waters of Jesmyn Ward's writing. You may gasp for air or need a break after a very intense event (Trigger Warning: Dog fighting is integral to the story). She creates twelve days in the lives of a family living in Mississippi as Katrina becomes a Category 5 heading for them. Ward draws on her personal history of Katrina and a previous Category 5 storm, Camille, as oral history passed down to through her family.
