More DescriptionToday is September 10, 2008, and Stacy Allen, Ph.D. has only one thing on her mind: Her career. She spent 23 years training for it, and finally, the life she has always wanted is well within her reach. She has earned tenure at St. Matilda Adams University. She is on track to become a full professor just six years out of graduate school. In sum, Dr. Stacy Allen is the epitome of what it means to be young, gifted, and black. But the spectacle of an approaching low-grade hurricane begins to uproot the foundation of Stacy's success, threatening certain death through loss of life as she knows it. Can Stacy survive the oncoming storm?The Secrets of Carter House is a historical fiction novel that follows an ensemble of Galveston and Houston-area teachers and learners as the 2008 onset of Hurricane Ike begins to renegotiate the boundaries between their in-school and out-of-school lives. This Southern tale explores how government structures, public policies, and political culture shape the choices that people make when disaster strikes.
