There is no doubt that many people and places along the eastern seaboard of the United States were changed forever by Hurricane Sandy. The momentous mega storm altered the physical landscape for many miles and left an indelible mark on countless residents. "Held Hostage by Hurricane Sandy" is based upon a handwritten journal kept before, during and after the historic Superstorm. It is not fiction.

Hurricane Sandy has often taken center stage in the media and rightly so. However, sometimes it can be easy for the true impact of a genuine human interest story to get lost in tomorrow's headlines. Rest assured the same thing will not happen to the courageous residents who survived Sandy.

What's more, for anyone who may have a lingering "if it didn't happen to me, it didn't happen" perspective about the devastating disaster, "Held Hostage By Hurricane Sandy" will change all of that. After seeing the storm's destruction firsthand, the author has turned out an account, you could say, "straight from the horse's mouth."
