Repass tells the haunting story of a family that is pulled apart by tragedy–the loss of a child in the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina. The levels of anguish within the community are eclipsed by the most terrifying incidence of a child’s life- the disintegration of the family. I tell this fairy tale to remind us of something so vitally important to life– there is always light; there is always hope. The character and heroine Marie shows us there is always a light, and that light comes from within.
