"Drawings, words, and a few photos combine to convey the depth of a
tragedy that would leave most people dumbstruck." -- Kirkus
"Vibrant coloring and fascinating secondary stories create a
gripping read that will attract graphic memoir fans and anyone
seeking firsthand accounts of surviving a natural disaster." --
Library Journal online
"Sometimes incorporating photographs and often communicating
emotion with color, he affectingly relates the grief, rage, and
powerlessness of losing one's home and possessions; each time he
remembers another thing he's lost-home videos he'd been meaning to
digitize, for instance-the pain feels brand-new again. Inviting,
empathy-driven, and ultimately hopeful in the face of hardship." --
