Wading Home: A Novel of New Orleans

The Essence-bestselling author of More Than You Know delivers a heart-wrenching, yet beautifully crafted post-Katrina New Orleans in this gripping novel.

When Hurricane Katrina hits the city, chef and widower Simon Fortier disappears, leaving behind his son, Julian, who rushes home to search for him.

As Julian crisscrosses the city, he reconnects with old flames and uncovers the troubled history of Silver Creek, the extravagantly beautiful piece of land where his father grew up.

With a lyrical rhythm reminiscent of James Baldwin, Story weaves a tale of love, loss, and redemption in this moving, yet heart-wrenching novel that will leave readers in awe of her masterful storytelling.
