Life's Ragin' Storms, based on a true story chronicles the lives of several African American and Caucasian families that resided in the segregated parish of Cameron, located along the southwestern Gulf coast of Louisiana. e narrative commences with the Bartie family struggles, triumphs, and hardships, tragedies and emotional stress encountered during the depression era of the late 1930's preceding the climactic year of 1957. On June 27th, this country's fifth worst destructive hurricane named Audrey ravaged the Cameron coast claiming well over 500 victims in her aftermath.
A product of extensive historical, genealogical, cultural and geographical research, coupled with personal interviews and conversations from members of the Bartie, Harrison, January, Miller and Nunez lineage, the author brings to life an intriguing flavor and vitality of that region, culture, and time period. e work clearly accentuates numerous family values, morals and indeed a devout reverence to God, which empowered these profound group of people to persevere and push forward in a very restricted environment, in addition to weathering the turbulent winds and drenching rain that terrorized their livelihoods.
This enthralling and powerful inspirational work authenticates life's rigorous transitions as well as the manner in which each character dealt with their own adversities. Life's Ragin' Storms, truly an inspiring African American family memoir!
