About The Book
Mudslides in Uganda. Child deaths in Brazil. Accidents in Mexico. They have seen it all before…in their younger, coming-of-age days.
Now, when repeated catastrophic natural disasters hit their coastal community, these multicultural retired couples must find a way to stand up a disaster shelter for hundreds of strangers as they all face the worst days of their lives. Dwindling supplies, never-ending complications, and relentless storm waters threaten to submerge their futures. If the couples cannot find strength in their differences, generosity, and faith, then their own inner fears, and pasts, could tear at their beliefs and long-term relationships. With no help in sight, they must find solutions to keep everyone alive until the deadly storms pass.
Horatio - Love in the Floodwaters captures the romance of long-lasting love that can sustain for a lifetime, the power of spirituality amidst devastation, and the strength of wisdom and experience in disaster.
