Naked: Stripped by a Man and Hurricane Katrina

Description

In one week, a house and marriage violently disintegrate. Alone raising an infant in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Julie is surrounded by the rubble of her life—stripped bare by love and loss. Julie is suddenly a single mother, and Freed’s prose captures the love and adoration for Julie has for her daughter, the indomitable spirit of her New England family, and her father’s unwavering devotion. Touching ties survive even the most powerful surge Mother Nature delivers.

This debut memoir candidly reveals intimate details of one woman’s shattered dreams as well as humanity’s resilience and sweet goodness. Unflinchingly honest, Naked is a remarkable true story of hope, family, and love in a southern coastal Mississippi town.

“Freed’s prose is often gorgeous and surprising. A candid account of personal devastation and renewal.” —Kirkus Reviews
