Activist Center
Help Rebuild the Gulf Coast
Proceeds from sales of Through the Eye of the Strom will fund the Pass Christian/DeLisle Community Center.
The Community Center
See a clip of Rev. Rosemary Williams talking about her dream for the community center.
The towns of Pass Christian and DeLisle, Mississippi were devastated when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Five acres of land will be developed to provide young adults with GED, computer, and other job training that will give them the skills to participate in the recovery of their community; Katrina washed away many jobs previously held in the area. During non-school hours, the center will serve the children of the community as the only after-school facility in the area. Eventually, routine healthcare education and services will also be provided at the center. This community center will create an opportunity for children and young adults to learn and develop, to dream and achieve those dreams.

Air Force cadet, U-2 spy plane pilot, commercial airline captain, and embedded war reporter, Espinoza has lived many lives. She returned from covering the Iraq War, her faith shaken and her spirit depressed. Then Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.

Espinoza is transformed, her faith renewed, her capacity to give and receive reborn in this moving story of loss, recovery, and the healing power of community.
