Katrina: A Story

A gentle summer in small-town America, a young girl on the cusp of change, and the quiet, luminous moments that shape a life. Katrina: A Story by Roy Rolfe Gilson is a classic American novel of the early 20th century, a rare gem of vintage literary fiction that captures the innocence and complexities of coming-of-age.
