Next week marks the third anniversary of the EF5 tornado that rocked Joplin. Writing Out of the Wind allowed me to reflect often on those moments, during the first days following the tornado. The photos below present some of the scenes the characters experienced in the book, but it is the emotion and the reaction that make the memories so vivid for so many of our citizens, volunteers, and passers by. Read more in my novel, Out of the Wind, a story designed to bring out the best (available on Amazon and Kindle, and in local bookstores). Surely, goodness and hope can come Out of the Wind of a horrific storm! Comments are closed.
