Childrens
Twelve-year-old Lanesha lives in a tight-knit community in
New Orleans' Ninth Ward. She doesn't have a fancy house like
her uptown family or lots of friends like the other kids on
her street. But what she does have is Mama Ya-Ya, her
fiercely loving caretaker, wise in the ways of the world and
able to predict the future. So when Mama Ya-Ya's visions
show a powerful hurricane--Katrina--fast approaching, it's
up to Lanesha to call upon the hope and strength Mama Ya-Ya
has given her to help them both survive the
storm. Ninth Ward is a deeply emotional story
about transformation and a celebration of resilience,
friendship, and family--as only love can define it.
