Book excerpt: "Millions of Americans whatched in horror as New Orleans homes were flooded - some to the rooftops - as a result of Hurricane Katrina in the summer of 2005. The flood was part of the worst natural disaster in U.S. History. Many couldn't stand to be sitting around doing nothing byt watching the story unfold on TV while people were dying. And so they acted. Two of those who steppen up were Doug Bienvenu and Drue LeBlanc, a couple from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana who hitched up their airboat and haded for New Orleans. Moved by compassion for their neighbors in need, Doug and Drue were determined to get into the city and start saving people - right away! Aggressive and impatient by nature, Doug felt strongly that waiting for the government ot act simply was not an option.Drue - though suffering with kidney disease - was anxious to go as well. She was willing to risk her life to save others in need. After narrowly escaping death from kidney failure on more than one occasion in the past, Drue figured God had kept her alive for a reason. Now she believed she knew why" -- inside cover.
