The Snake Killer

When the floodwaters of Hurricane Floyd consumed eastern North Carolina, eleven-year-old Josh Bledsoe clung to a door that bobbed in the chaos. Stranded and alone, he faced an extraordinary challenge: not just survival against the relentless rise of water, but an unprecedented battle against a thousand snakes that invaded his refuge. In a world turned upside down, where the familiar sounds of home were replaced by the hissing of serpents, Josh must summon every ounce of courage, resourcefulness, and the invaluable lessons taught by his father—lessons that remind him that a thinking man is a living man.

As he navigates danger with only his loyal dog by his side, Josh discovers a strength he never knew he possessed alongside the haunting memories of those tragically lost in the flood.
