My Hurricane Story

a book by P.J. Raspberry - a true story

This is the story of a woman with a very strong Acadian background, who was betrayed and shamed into giving away the rights to her own life. This was done in a male dominated court system that often reoffends battered women and victimizes them over and over again until they relent and sign on the dotted line. She was left with a broken life, and a shattered spirit. This is tragedy in the truest sense. The court system and legal system need an overhaul to prevent hard working, loyal women from being treated like an expendable commodity- at the level of gas station toilet paper.

My Hurricane

There is something honest, wholesome, and secure about knowing where your place is in the world.

Hurricanes from the Gulf are always a concern, because their actual path is unpredictable. When you look at the images on weather updates, you will notice that the “projected” path is often a funnel shape. You know they are coming, but you never know how damaging the winds will be, whether storm surges will roll in from the Gulf at eye level of roof tops, or in the case of people inland, whether the rain will be of depths that even Noah would fear.

  • Why? Why? Why?

    I sat and watched innocent kids, women and men have their lives, soul, hopes, dreams and hard sweat taken and sold to the highest bidder in a Louisiana court system. As a Social Studies educator for many years, I could not believe what I was witnessing and hearing. With the impression of young students that look up to you with respect and guidance, you are at the helm of helping the parent and community instill morals and values into the young world that is in front of them.
