Happy Book Birthday to our own Ellen Cochrane @ellenmcochrane !

Ellen's debut narrative nonfiction book for young adults, Follow the Water, releases today!

Follow the Water tells the remarkable true story of Juliane Koepcke, whose survival after a midair plane breakup over the Peruvian Amazon remains one of the most astonishing accounts of the 20th century.

"Journalistically direct, and compelling, this tale is more riveting than any work of fiction...Gripping and unforgettable." (Kirkus Reviews)

"A riveting memoir and survival story of a remarkable teenager."
(Booklist)

Congratulations Ellen! Fans of survival stories, RUN out to grab your copy today!

I did not take many pictures of the flooding around Asheville, but this is the bottom of my street on the day the hurricane hit. We live up on top of a hill, and this video is right down at the bottom where a normally tiny creek runs alongside the road.

Everyone in my family was safe and though we lost a few trees, none did any serious damage to our house. Steve quickly set up a rainwater collection system and rigged up a solar powered fridge using the car battery from his next Land Rover restoration project. We also had some drinking water stored and had wonderful neighbors and friends who brought more from their runs to other cities for supplies.

Conveniently, we already had a trip to Oregon planned from October 2nd and our flight actually left as scheduled. So we are now on the west coast for a little while.

I am so sad for everyone who has lost homes, businesses, and loved ones in this flood. We are very lucky and I am so grateful for our friends and family all over the world who have been checking on us. And I am proud of our community in Asheville— what strong, caring, and resourceful people we live among! by @stephfret
