The inhabitants of New Orleans thought they were safe. They had survived countless storms and were not about to evacuate. In those late days of August, 2005, they thought they could overcome. They were wrong. They put their homes, their property and their lives in the hands of a levee system. They gambled on the Bayou and lost when the levee broke, washing away everything they had. The only surviving aspect of the human condition was their faith.
Michael Scott watched his wife die in his arms as he struggled to save his daughter Trinity from the storm. When the Coast Guard rescued them from atop their washed out family home, they were forced to move on without her. Now, the widower is a single parent and must rebuild for the only family he has left. A new home, a new state and a new life await but he must first overcome his devastating loss. His wife was his destiny, his lovebird, his lobster and his forever love. In order to move forward he must put it all behind him. Can he ever find love again or is he destined to be washed away like the love of his life? Faced with challenges at every turn, Michael Scott hides in one Sanctuary after another to avoid the inevitable bridge that he will need to cross in order to find happiness once again.
Come along on this heartfelt journey as LaPorta explores the courage, resolve, and closure needed to possess as his characters look to the everlasting rainbow. Sanctuary will evoke human emotions; the depth of which you may never have experienced before. Life supplies us all with an infinite supply of love but you have to be brave enough to open your heart again to experience it.
