Overview

Sometimes water has a memory and it returns to where it has already visited. In this fierce, fragmented memoir, Ashley, an autistic mother documents her family's survival through unrelenting natural disasters. Thirteen months after Hurricane Idalia, their Florida home has just been restored when Hurricane Helene arrives and floods it once again. Revealing systems designed to exhaust victims into submission. Ashley must navigate insurance mazes, housing instability, bureaucracy, and a culture that abandons those it deems ""resilient."" With dark humor and unflinching clarity, Flood Logic explores what happens when the floodwaters recede but the damage keeps rising. When minnows swim through dining rooms, children learn to kick down drywall, and ""strength"" becomes another weight to carry. This isn't a story of triumph over adversity. It's about learning to breathe underwater while trying to reach dry land. And realizing you've been treading against depths trying to pull you under long before the storms.
