Hurricane Gustav roared through Houma, Louisiana, on the first day of September in 2008, leaving extensive damage and debris in its wake. People came from far and near to help with the cleanup that fall. Among those many were two men who forged an unlikely friendship. Billy was a tree cutter from Arkansas, Pancho a laborer from Honduras. Divided by language, they found their own way of communicating. Then a tragic accident left many questions unanswered. A journey of discovery began, stretching from Houma to a tiny village in Honduras. When the journey was over and the questions answered, lives were forever changed. Inspired by two real people involved in the recovery effort, this fictional story of the strength of true friendship is as inspiring as it is entertaining.
