Editor's Note: This episode of Nancy's Bookshelf aired on Jan. 2, 2010. We re-aired the episode on Friday, Sept. 4, following the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in August 2015.

Paul Harris was on vacation in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina forced him and others to take refuge in the Louisiana Superdome. He wrote the book "Diary From the Dome: Reflections on Fear and Privilege During Katrina," published in 2008, about the harrowing experience.
