pickThis book is a must-read. Eggers has an amazing talent for portraying someone's else's story with empathy and insight. Zeitoun, a Syrian immigrant and small business owner, stays in New Orleans during and after Katrina when his family evacuated. Covers the devastation of Katrina, how easily the freedoms we believe are guaranteed can break down, and islamophobia. #nonfiction #litsatoz #letterE #readeverywhere #lrc4

Wife @Blaire I read that too! Great book, but what a nightmare! I work at a hospital and can't even imagine... 8y
Blaire @Wife @LeahBergen right? The decisions that had to be made, the lack of supplies, the miscommunication. I can't begin to imagine. 8y
