In Hurricane Baby you've written stories taking place in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

I read that you also covered other events such as 9/11 as a journalist.

Was there one news item or story of personal courage, that was the first inspiration to write the book, or was it born from your general experiences in covering these tragic events?
