In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the
world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of
orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary
imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the
universe until a fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to repair
the structure of her world in order to save her ailing father and
sinking home, this tiny hero must learn to survive unstoppable
catastrophes of epic
proportions.
