Where I Live - Neighborhood

Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker Rhodes. Lanesha lives in New Orleans' Ninth War with Mama Ya-Ya her loving caretaker. She doesn't have a fancy house like her uptown family or friends like the other kids on her street. When Mama Ya-Ya's visions show a powerful hurricane--Katrina approaching, it's up to Lanesha to call upon their hope and strength to help them survive.

Coming Home by Greg Ruth Every day, soldiers leave their families to protect others. We love them. We miss them when they're gone. And we want them all to come home. They are our heroes.
