- Surviving Helene : Chronicles of courage and recovery , by Fuentes, Jamie, author. ;
"In September 2024, Hurricane Helene battered the coast, but its far-reaching impact shook communities far from the storm's center. "Surviving Helene: Chronicles of Courage and Hope" delves into the hearts and homes of the resilient residents of Western North Carolina, capturing their personal stories of survival, strength, and solidarity in the face of nature's wrath. This compelling narrative ushers readers through the lives forever changed by high winds, torrential rains, and the ravaging aftermath of destruction. From a wedding party that was swept away in the ravaging river to families narrowly escaping from mudslides who banded together in makeshift shelters, every account stands as a testament to human spirit and endurance. They reflect on not just the physical challenges of rebuilding their lives, but also the emotional toll of loss, uncertainty, and the quest for normalcy amidst chaos. With vivid storytelling and powerful firsthand accounts, this book highlights the diverse experiences of community members-including educators, first responders, and volunteers-who came together to support one another and restore their beloved mountain towns. Their tales illustrate not only the destruction wrought by the storm but also the glimmers of hope and acts of kindness that emerged in its wake. "Surviving Helene" is both a gripping chronicle of a natural disaster and a heartwarming tribute to the unyielding spirit of the Appalachian people. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest times, community, courage, and compassion can light the way forward. Join these remarkable individuals in their journey of survival and rediscovery, and let their stories inspire you to find hope in the face of adversity." --Back cover. - Subjects: Hurricane Helene;
