Almost every year, areas of the Midwest are subjected to massive flooding. Sandbags are filled and stacked, FEMA arrives, and there is a discussion of whether this is a 500-year flood, a 1,000-year flood, or just another typical summer season. This new book looks at a town devastated and rebuilt--that will likely be rebuilt again when the next years' waters rise and puts it in context with the history of the region and the people who have lived there for generations.
When the Mississippi River crested 30 feet above its banks in June 2008, tens of thousands of Midwesterners lost their homes, their crops and all their possessions; The flood was especially hard on Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where journalist Stephen Lyons describes a city caught between resilience and growing frustration with the slowness of government recovery efforts.
