August Wind

On a quiet August night along the Alabama Gulf Coast, Miss Betty Brown returns to the Polka Dot Mermaid for a simple supper in the old bomb-shelter dining room known as the Florida Room. The televisions say the hurricane will hit somewhere else. They always do-until they don't. When Marylou turns north and the bridge off the island disappears, memory, loss, and the long indifference of the Gulf rise with the wind.
August Wind is a haunting story of complacency, love, and the thin line between safety and reckoning.
