The wish list book "The Storm and the Tide: Tragedy, Hope and
Triumph in Tuscaloosa" by Lars Anderson is now in the collection.

Direct link to it: https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/1054987

Long Synopsis:
The moving story of how a shared tragedy inspired a college
football dynasty. On April 27, 2011, a powerful tornado ripped
through the heart of Tuscaloosa, Ala., leaving 53 dead and a path
of unimaginable devastation. In the aftermath, Alabama coach Nick
Saban and his football team went out into the community, sharing
its grief and aiding in the recovery. Together they forged an
unbreakable bond, and in a place where Saturdays are dedicated to
Crimson Tide football, "Let's play for Tuscaloosa" became a
rallying cry, an emotional touchstone that transcended the playing
field. Barrett Jones, a 300-pound tackle, went street by street
with a chain saw clearing debris. Long snapper Carson Tinker, who
endured terrible personal tragedy in the storm, emerged as the
public face of Tuscaloosa's resilience. Diehard fans Bob and Dana
Dowling lost their home but saw a new one raised by the muscle of
Crimson Tide players. The rebuilding effort became a heartfelt
crusade; the football team was now competing for a cause much
greater than a national championship. In The Storm and the Tide,
Lars Anderson chronicles the rise of a team, the building of a
dynasty and the resurgence of a town.
