Summary

A devastating hurricane. A traumatized teen. She made it through the storm, but what about the aftermath?

Fifteen-year-old aspiring filmmaker Jane-Claire Stevens believes her tight-knit beach community can weather anything. Little does she know disaster is indiscriminate.

The record-breaking hurricane raging her way wipes her beloved home off the map. Jane-Claire is adrift. Her family’s plans obliterated. Her own future blank.

The family is forced to separate. Her physician dad remains behind for his patients, and she evacuates with her mom and older brother to start from scratch in an unwelcoming city. Then, Jane-Claire discovers that her best friend is struggling in the dead zone. She sets out to help.

But before Jane-Claire can save anyone, she must first learn to trust and accept the healing kindness of strangers or risk losing herself in the wreckage.

Le Bas International has masterminded some of aviation’s more historic achievements. In the world of past disaster, no two relief events are ordinary following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The company choreographed the largest civilian airlift since World War II. Seven thousand was only the beginning. Literally a drop in an ocean.

During the humanitarian mission, Le Bas International transformed problems of scarce supplies, limited resources, bureaucratic regulations, and basic security into a rescue opportunity.

Praise for the book:

"Based on a true story, Against the Wind: Jane-Claire's Personal Salvation is about the personal devastation of disaster. A strong subject for a young adult catastrophe thriller, the novel is full of touching, sharply observed moments and is a tribute to survivors everywhere.” (Tracey Deakin, founder and partner, Le Bas International Huntington Beach, California)

“Dawn Crouch has a passion for writing... And the most compelling stories are those based on life experiences.” (Scott Turner, editor and publisher, Albuquerque, New Mexico)
