Before moving, Will announced his intentions.

We feel obliged to insist you take us to St.

Marys Hospital and Infirmary in the city proper.

The Mourning Wave recounts the moment the most deadly storm in American history made landfall on the beaches of Galveston Island in 1900 and a young orphans fight for survival inside the doomed St.

Marys Orphan Asylum.

Populated with real-life characters, historic figures, and powerful recollections from actual storm survivors, The Mourning Wave is a turbulent ride back through time which presents not merely history, but guidance for facing grief, uncertainty, and anxiety in tragedys aftermath.

Historically gripping, yet proximate, it asks if moments of indelible beauty and redemption can dependably arise from chaos in our storm-driven world.
