Paperback. Condición: New. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, this small format book touches on the ephemeral, and surprisingly often beautiful, remnants of belongings that once made up the memories and precious moments of people's lives.On August 29th 2005, Katrina, a natural hurricane, struck the city of New Orleans.

These intensely personal items have been abandoned and left, and in most cases, will never be reclaimed.…
