Somehow I missed how bad the Joplin Tornado really was at the time it was happening. But this book put you right inside the moment of the tornado. It gave first hand accounts and descriptions that enabled you to actually visualize the fear and the effects left behind. It must have been a difficult book to write. Harder still to tell the stories of losing loved ones. At the end of the book there are the obituaries of all the victims. Each obituary puts a face to a soul lost in the storm that day. It's not just a vague story of something that happened one day. It's the tale of their lives and deaths and the strength of the survivors.
The e-book version of 5:41 is available for $5 at this link.
The paperback version of the book can be ordered through the link on the right hand side of this page.
