Autorenporträt
Carla Seyler worked for years as a vocational rehabilitation counselor, when sometimes the truth was stranger than fiction. This is Carla's first novel, an imaginary disaster story that easily could be true. She is a native of New Orleans, a place that has been unmade by disasters both natural and engineered, but one that offers a master class in grace, patience, resilience, and joy. Carla lives in New Orleans with her husband and has two independent daughters.
