Not everyone will experience the life-changing tides of a hurricane, but everyone will go through storms in their life-- and it's what we learn along the way that shapes who we become in the wake of adversity.

Kristen Ethridge enjoyed life in Galveston, Texas as an entrepreneur and new parent--until Hurricane Ike came to town on September 13, 2008. One of the most destructive hurricanes to ever hit the United States, Ike forced Kristen to rebuild not just her home and business, but her outlook on life as well. Storm Surge is Kristen's memoir of the events after Hurricane Ike, paired with the Bible verses and Christian living scenarios that helped to construct the life lessons she learned going through the process of recovery. In this book, Kristen walks readers through her own recovery process and the Biblical truths that can bring comfort, inspiration, strength and direction during even the hardest times.

Kristen is the RWA Golden Heart Award-nominated author of the Port Provident inspirational romance series, and Storm Surge will also give readers a behind-the-scenes look at the real-life story that inspired Kristen's Port Provident: Hurricane Hope books.
