“Surviving Savannah,” by Patti Callahan is a wonderful book!! My favorite read this year so far. Very well researched and beautifully written, the book takes you to the night the steamship Pulaski blew up. It is based on true facts of that fateful night in 1838 and the ensuing story of those who battled to survive. That’s one timeline; the second is of a college history professor who is asked to curate an exhibit of the newly found Pulaski wreckage in the present day. “How do we survive the surviving?”
