Become familiar with the facts, photographs, and support from fifty other residents that can help you share your thoughts about the New Orleans area.

“The book contains a great deal of diversified information with interesting vignettes of family and friends. Of course, I am slightly prejudiced, in that I particularly enjoyed the section on sustainability and regeneration of the land! All the photography was great.”
~ Carlton Dufrechou, Previous Executive Director, The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation

“Your book is marvelous and what it says is so true! My children live out of town and they ask me why I stay here. I intend to share this book with them.”
~ Lorraine Steim, Metairie, LA
