"Katrina's Sandcastles" is Kaycee Eckhardt's harrowing and hopeful
journey of becoming an effective teacher and building a new school
in post-Katrina New Orleans. Beginning as a first year teacher,
Eckhardt recounts her path through four different schools in the
New Orleans neighborhoods of Holly Grove, Algiers, Treme, and the
9th Ward, planting the seeds of literacy in the most dire of
circumstances. With affection and brutal honesty, she relates the
circumstances of several children, the belief in all things
possible, and finally, her most difficult decision of all. Filled
with heartbreaking stories, teacher survival strategies, and an
excess of heart, "Katrina's Sandcastles" is a story of sacrifice
and struggle, belief and failure, despair and ultimate redemption
in the heart of the Crescent City.
