Book Giveaway: "City of Refuge" by Tom Piazza

Today I have a galley of Tom Piazza's "City of Refuge" to giveaway.

From the award-winning novelist and author of Why New Orleans Matters comes a breathtaking novel of two families, one white and one black, whose lives are torn apart by Hurricane Katrina and then pieced back together again in ways they couldn't have imagined.

Tom Piazza's book Why New Orleans Matters touched a nerve among readers everywhere after Hurricane Katrina and it earned him a passionate readership. Now, in City of Refuge, the Michener Award-winning fiction writer delivers something larger and deeper, a novel destined to become a classic. This shattering, panoramic novel follows the Donaldsons and the Williamses--two very different families, one black and one white--as they are uprooted from New Orleans to Houston and Chicago, and as they slowly find a way to piece their lives back together in the wake of the disaster. Gripping, compulsively readable, full of unforgettable characters, City of Refuge is sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.
