The Storm and the Tide is nonfiction

Have you ever heard about the tornadoes of April 27, 2011? That day, there were hundreds of tornadoes that ripped through central and northern Alabama, causing lots and lots of damage. There was even a mile-wide tornado that went through the city of Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, the defending national champions. Now, a tragedy like this should most definitely affect a team, but in what way? How would a team like this respond to having most of what they know destroyed, and even some guys losing their friends to the tornado? This book will show the resiliency of Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide, including their leaders, quarterback AJ McCarron and linebacker CJ Mosley. It will show the fight that they went through to rebuild their campus that was so special to them, all while working on the football field to try to repeat as national champions.
