Flood Stories: Disaster, Recovery and Hope in Vermont

Best Backcountry Skiing in the Northeast

About me

Location	Waterbury Center, VT, United States
Introduction	I am an author and journalist. Which is a fancy way of saying that I’m a storyteller. In the decades that I’ve been telling stories – from South Africa’s transformation from apartheid, to media propaganda during the Iraq War to ski adventures in the mountains of the Northeast – none have affected me quite like these. These are stories close to home and heart: they chronicle the struggles, fears, hopes and triumphs of my neighbors in Waterbury, Vermont, in the wake of one of the state’s greatest natural disasters, Tropical Storm Irene. I am honored to share their stories.
