Dear Librarian, John Grisham called ROAR OF THE HEAVENS "a riveting account of what it was like to live through the most intense hurricane ever to strike the U.S. mainland." Hurricane Camille came ashore in Mississippi in August, 1969 -- strangely enough, the same weekend as Woodstock -- with winds over 200 miles an hour. Two days later, in the middle of the night and completely without warning, she triggered one of the heaviest rainfalls ever recorded. Over 300 people were killed, many buried alive. ROAR OF THE HEAVENS tells this astounding tale -- as well as other tales of foolishness and heroism, of Southern small-town life, and of a sweet, fleeting moment in American history. In the process, the book also elegantly explains the science of hurricanes. I'm giving away five free copies to the first five people who contact me, so write me at Dhand302@gmail.com. All the best, Stefan Bechtel
