How does someone raised in a low-income community with few resources before the disaster, and even fewer after, get beyond the trauma to succeed in school and life? (The story of Talitha Halley,
"Hurricane Katrina displaced 160,000-plus children when it hit the Gulf Coast states of Louisiana and Mississippi in the summer of 2005. More than 100,000 were school-aged, between 5 and 19 years old, according to a 2007 study by the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health." ~ Peggy Barmore 7/10/2015
