Extended heavy rains in 1913 caused widespread, devastating flooding that impacted most of the eastern and central US, causing major damage and leading to flood mitigation efforts. Washed Away takes the reader through those days, focusing on Ohio and Indiana, the hardest hit, and telling the story through the experiences of individuals. A really compelling read! #ReadYourEbooks (May)
