About this item

On the evening of May 20th, 1957 hundreds of unsuspecting children found their lives altered forever by an F-5 tornado. Known as the Ruskin Heights Tornado, this monster not only destroyed lives and property along its seventy-one mile path, but undermined the security and trust of its youngest survivors. In an era when children were not encouraged to analyze their feelings, many of these survivors carried unanswered questions and fears with them into adulthood. Caught Ever After tells the story of how a fifty-year reunion and memorial re-dedication brought back neighbors and classmates to share memories, some for the first time. It lays bare the impressions, misconceptions and anger the tornado left in its wake. Through memories and family stories it examines the questions of survivors -- author Carolyn Glenn Brewer among them -- and how this tornado's children continue to cope. Carolyn Glenn Brewer's book Caught In The Path told of that horrifying May night through the eyes of adults. That was only half of the story.
