So when Mama Ya-Ya's visions show a powerful hurricane-Katrina-fast approaching, it's up to Lanesha to call upon the hope and strength Mama Ya-Ya has given her to help them both survive the storm. But what she does have is Mama Ya-Ya, her fiercely loving caretaker, wise in the ways of the world and able to predict the future. She doesn't have a fancy house like her uptown family or lots of friends like the other kids on her street. Twelve-year-old Lanesha lives in a tight-knit community in New Orleans' Ninth Ward.
