From Oakton's Catalog
In the Wake of the Storm by
In one of life's unfathomable twists,
on the afternoon of October 31, 1994
-- a Halloween that was marked by
nightmarish weather across the
Midwest -- a turboprop plane bound
for Chicago crashed in a soybean field
outside the small town of Roselawn,
Indiana. All sixty-eight people aboard
American Eagle Flight 4184 perished,
including the author's thirty-seven year-old sister, Patty, and her
four-year-old nephew, Patrick.
Instantaneously this tragedy created
a ripple effect that grew to have
worldwide repercussions.
In the Wake of the Storm is the
astonishing story of the aftermath of
that crash. It's a spellbinding and
inspiring account of how the surviving
families, broken down by shock and
grief, found the strength to take a
stance against a flawed corporate
system and effect change through
advocacy and the passing of new
legislation that continues to benefit
all passengers today.
It is also a tale containing
unexplainable occurrences that invite
the reader to explore a deeper
meaning to life and the possibility of
an expanded world existing beyond
what we can see and touch. Within
Theresa Severin's poignant account of
living with loss, but not succumbing
to it, is a universal message of hope.
