Displaced: A Memoir of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina
In August 2005, New Orleans was flooded after Hurricane Katrina, displacing families, fracturing communities, and leaving behind a landscape of loss. Displaced is a deeply personal memoir of a city’s resilience and the search for belonging in the flood’s aftermath.
With the precision of a journalist and empathy of a storyteller, Jocelyn retraces her journey through the city, before and during the flood, capturing the disorienting reality of starting over when home is swept away. Along the way, she weaves in stories of others who shared the journey—neighbors, strangers, and fellow survivors—creating a story that reflects both devastation and hope.
Publish date September 17, 2025. Available through Amazon and to booksellers and libraries through Ingram and Baker & Taylor.
