Mallory Shaw, a bright, beautiful, teenage girl, left a secure life in Georgia in 1925 when her father moved his family to join Florida's boom. Mallory expected living on the "edge of the Everglades" to be dull and difficult until unexpected changes began. At last, when the Great Miami Hurricane struck on September 18, 1926, in ten hours, it destroyed 90 percent of south Florida's buildings and took more lives than any other hurricane in history. This event changed Mallory's life forever. How does she handle it? What has she learned in one year about God's role in life's disasters?
