Cooler Smarter: Practical Steps for Low-Carbon Living
Salvage the Bones (FICTION)
by Jesmyn Ward
This is the story of a family bolstered by community, defined by pride and threatened by extreme heat and ever-stronger hurricanes. Like the book’s protagonist, 15-year-old Esch, Ward grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and lived through the category 5 Hurricane Katrina.
