Displaced: A Memoir of Survival and Starting Over After Hurricane Katrina (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732762381)

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans. The ensuing flood upended lives and erased neighborhoods. In Displaced, Jocelyn Kerr delivers an intimate, unflinching account of what it means to lose a city, and the life you built within it, overnight.

From the fantasy of living in an iconic city to the chaotic days of flooding and the surreal reality of starting over, she traces the physical and emotional journey of survival, grief, and rebuilding. Along the way, moments of unexpected kindness and unlikely friendships emerge, illuminating the resilience of the human spirit.

More than a story of one storm, Displaced is a personal exploration of home, belonging, and the ways disaster reshapes us. Both a vivid historical snapshot and a testament to endurance, it speaks to anyone who has ever been forced to begin again.
