A review by cnyreader
City of Refuge by Tom Piazza

5.0

While this is a work of fiction, this is the true story of so many who endured Hurricane Katrina and dealt with the aftermath in their beloved New Orleans. I've read more than a couple books on this topic, and the skill with which Piazza balances the storm of emotions, brings the reader to the reality of the experience as much as we are able, is remarkable. It's not about race, it's not about politics, it's just about survival and the city that they call home.
