About

My middle name is Leah. Every single day I am a lover/thinker/collector/hustler/innovator/motivator/mover and a shaker/list maker. Every other day I want to live in the desert. I try to be fearless and selfless. I listen to music that funks my soul. ++love++

Where we know NEW ORLEANS as home Five years after Katrina, New Orleans is still limping. This second book of a planned trilogy looks at both those who stayed on and rebuilt their lives in New Orleans and those who had to say goodbye. It also weaves in historical references and quotes from Louis Armstrong, Lafcadio Hearn, and many others. What emerges is a book that shows how lovers of New Orleans have always battled with its darker side, and how the people’s knack for celebrating an impromptu second line goes hand in hand with their acknowledgment of the ghosts in their midst. ++love++
