Hurricane

by Janice A. Thompson

It's 1900 and Brent Murphy, a prodigal son, is disillusioned with New York and his life as a newspaperman. Drawn home to Galveston Island, Brent knows it is likely he will face rejection from his father. On Saturday September 8, 1900, without warning, the citizens of Galveston Island are in for the fight of their lives when the hurricane of the century hits. In a single night of horror, more than 6,000 islanders lose their lives and countless others are left in devastation. Through the experience, Brent finally faces the truth of his own childhood and the stormy relationship he has with his parents. He finds the courage to write the story of his past and discovers a loving God.

"Hurricane" was based on the Galveston Hurricane in 1900. I really enjoyed it, however, one more editing pass would have been beneficial. Missing and extra words sometimes pull me out of the story since I have to stop and go back and look. I would definitely recommend it to others though.
