When Disaster Strikes

Four eloquent writers accomplish the near-impossible in this fantastic, specially edited volume – they plunge you deep into the centre of catastrophe, then bring you through to the other side. They reveal the horror along with healing truths, by showing the dangers and the defeats that overcome the victims of mayhem, but also the best of human bravery, stamina and compassion in the face of overwhelming odds.
