“Audra Martin D’Aroma weaves Galveston Island and those hurricanes into her story like Faulkner wove Yoknapatawpha County into Absalom, Absalom!, where the land was always not far behind in any dealings that the characters hatched up. The Galveston Chronicles is a wonderful and complex read; there is nothing timid about her writing. She has a unique gift with words. I can’t wait to see her next book.”
Diane Wilson, author of Diary of an Eco Outlaw
“This book is a must read for anyone who loves the Island and treasures its history. Audra offers an intriguing look at Galveston history through the eyes of those whose lives were inextricably entwined with the fate of the ‘Treasure Isle.’”
Stan Blazyk, author of A Century of Galveston Weather: 1900-1999 People and the Elements on a Barrier Island
“I thought The Galveston Chronicles was a really good read, full of interesting and useful information.”
Gary Cartwright, author of Galveston: A History of the Island
