Reviews for Wading Home
"New Orleans natives struggle to recover their lives as well as their property after Hurricane Katrina... Story's musical background infuses her novel with a lyrical rhythm...as engaging characters rebuild their relationships and their city. The current oil-spill crisis only makes the hopefulness of this novel more moving, if heart-wrenching."
