About this listen

The true story about seven ordinary women and one extraordinary event....

Summer is coming, and the residents in Joplin, Missouri, anticipate the rush of freedom and activities that will follow: graduation, summer classes, vacations, overflowing gardens, family time, and plenty of photo opportunities.

What they don't anticipate is the mile-wide tornado that will devastate the town on May 22, 2011, in the middle of dinner preparations, visits to friends and family, and graduation ceremonies. The tornado kills over a hundred in the deadliest tornado disaster in the modern era and leaves thousands more homeless.

In the face of this tragedy, seven women must gather their courage and hold their families together. Each will make different choices to protect loved ones and strangers and recover from the winds of destruction.

I’ve seen some YouTube studies of the Joplin tornado, to hear peoples experience in a timeline format makes you feel like your experiencing that day with them. Crazy how the events happened, the little signs people noted, to the first warnings of the tornado. Hearing about the aftermath after seeing pictures on YouTube and news clips is chilling. I can’t even begin to think what it must of been like. This book did a great job at painting the nightmare that happened to many.

Great listen
