The Broken Fall chronicles a writer's journey to find faith, hope, and meaning following the country's worst national disaster—Hurricane Katrina. This book is an ode to God, country, and the invincible spirit of man to transform the experience of loss into a rich landscape of beauty. Revealing deep spiritual roots beneath the beloved natural beauty of Louisiana, Orrill uncovers purpose hidden in destruction and restoration on the other side of life's storms. Everyone has a Katrina in his or her life—that existential moment when human frailty is tested against the mighty forces of circumstance—and The Broken Fall eloquently unveils the seasons of recovery after one of the most sensational and historical subjects of the decade.
