In the Wake of the Storm: Living Beyond the Tragedy of Flight 4184, by Terri Severin, is a true story of love, loss, healing, and renewal, which offers all readers a universal message of hope. It is a powerful demonstration of the resilience of the human spirit that resonates with anyone coping with loss or hardship.
It is the definitive account of a commercial aviation disaster that sparked courageous individuals to turn victimization into empowerment by creating much-needed change refocusing disaster response on the needs of survivors and loved ones. This activism led to landmark legislation—the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996—which serves the public to this day.
In the Wake of the Storm has been acclaimed for its first-hand account of the aftermath of catastrophe. It has been adopted in college curricula, first responder training, and mass fatality conferences, and has been featured in both local and national media. The National Geographic Society utilized the book in the production of its televised dramatization of the crash of 4184, “Frozen in Flight.” It was required reading for the creators of Sole Survivor, a CNN award-winning documentary about the struggle of plane crash survivors to re-engage with everyday life.
Today, in an era of unprecedented upheaval, challenge, and loss, In the Wake of the Storm continues to find new readers from all walks of life, drawn by its promise of resilience, recovery, and renewal.
An expanded eBook edition includes new reflections by the author, media coverage, photos, and video that invite the reader to experience an event that shattered lives and shook the aviation industry.
