About The Irma Diaries
Beyond the news headlines and apocalyptic images, The Irma Diaries takes readers straight into the heart of a Category 5 plus hurricane, the strongest to ever make landfall in Atlantic history.
The Irma Diaries transposes readers to The Virgin Islands on 6th September, 2017 and into the shoes of islanders on the frontlines of climate change. In a very intimate, personal style, The Irma Diaries captures the harrowing, yet amazing and inspiring and, at times, amusing accounts of the ordinary- turned-extraordinary people who battled through Hurricane Irma, minute by minute, and came out alive.
The Irma Diaries was written to stir global attention and action on climate change, to help The Virgin Islands adapt to continuing climate change impacts and to help rebuild the lives of those impacted by Hurricane Irma . As such, 25% of book proceeds will be donated to The Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund and an additional 25% to the 25 contributors of survivor stories to help rebuild lives.

"The ability to “live” the moments with the contributors, beautifully presented by the author. It’s a wonderful thought to have put this book together under dire circumstances, kudos to Angela Burnett."
"It was nothing like I expected...I cried, I laughed, then I cried some more and I have so much empathy and solidarity for my fellow Virgin Islanders who have been through this horrific experience. It is amazing that so many persons survived based on the stories. They truly come alive and the author did an excellent job in capturing the essence of the experience. This is want tenacity and survival sounds like!!!"
