A Story of Persistence, Truth, and the Search for Answers
Words Whispered in Water by Sandy Rosenthal is a compelling and deeply personal account of Hurricane Katrina and the catastrophic flooding of New Orleans. But it is also the story of what happens when someone refuses to stop asking questions.
Sandy brings readers into her personal journey of trying to understand what happened and why. Her persistence in researching the levee failures and seeking answers gives the book a perspective that goes well beyond the headlines and familiar images associated with Katrina.
What makes this story particularly interesting is Sandy herself. She was not a government official, engineer, or disaster expert. She was a New Orleans resident who experienced the devastation and began asking questions. Those questions ultimately led her down a path of research, advocacy, and a determination to better understand what had happened to her city.
This is a story about persistence and the importance of continuing to seek answers, even when the subject is complicated and the answers are difficult.
I’m looking forward to having Sandy Rosenthal as my guest on Your Partner In Success Radio this August. We’ll have an opportunity to talk about her book, her experience researching Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures, and the work she has continued to do since then. I’m especially looking forward to hearing Sandy tell this story in her own words and sharing that conversation with my listeners.
You can find this book on Amazon and Audible.
