“Bert Montgomery’s Going Back to New Orleans is more than just a collection of stories from those who lived through it and those who know the city well. As the subtitle suggests, it also tells the story of re-connections . . . As you read Going Back to New Orleans you will feel that you, too, whether you have ever been to New Orleans or not, share the story of a great American city and people who have re-connected to all that is truly important when tragedy strikes.”
Rev. Paul R. Powell
St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church, New Orleans
“As a lifelong resident of St. Charles Parish where Bert fondly recalls his youth, I lived and worked the aftermath and recovery that Southeast Louisiana endured. Each of these different accounts which surround the handling and horrors of one of the nations worst national disasters, is real and revealing. I felt myself relating to each as if I was living their ordeal through Bert’s words . . . This book and its reflections are a contribution of what we have come to expect from Bert. If you want a true account of the struggles of everyday people after Katrina, read this book!”
Gary L. Smith, Jr.
