Donetta, on the other hand, is contemplating moving on from her floundering marriage. As more people seek refuge in the small town, can they transition from merely surviving to truly thriving?

Review by Booklist Review

Donetta, 69, and her like-aged friends from the tiny town of Daily, Texas, decide to take a giant leap from their mundane lives and go on a cruise. After they begin their journey to the ship, the people in the port town of Perdida, Texas, the group's destination, receive word that a major hurricane is coming their way. Once in Perdida, the band of friends learns their ship has already sailed, and their only choice is to turn around and become part of the massive, frenzied evacuation. Free spirit Kai Miller, the 27-year-old owner of Gifts from the Sea, joins the exodus, and there's plenty of peril on the road from both man and nature as Kai and Donetta's group fight their way to Daily. Narrated in turns by Donetta and Kai, popular and versatile Wingate's exciting, often humorous tale realistically captures the chaos and heroism of small-town America in the throes of disaster as well as a can-do attitude in the aftermath.--Mosley, Shelley Copyright 2010 Booklist
