Disaster in paradise : the landslides in Johnson's Landing Amanda Bath.

Bath, Amanda, 1955- (author.).

Summary:

On the morning of July 12, 2012, the author left her picturesque home and garden in Johnson's Landing, BC, for a day trip to nearby Kaslo. She had no forewarning of what the placid summer day would bring. But just over an hour later, a massive landslide tore into the community, destroying her home and killing four people. Returning the next day, Amanda narrowly avoided being buried beneath a second landslide. This tells a story of survival, grief and recovery. The author eloquently details her own experience of trauma and healing, and weaves in the stories of other residents and volunteers in the rescue and recovery missions as the community bands together to collectively mourn their loss.
