Imagine spending two hours in the middle of the night stranded on the roof of your car with your 7-week-old baby as floodwaters rise around you.

That's exactly what happened to Elisabeth Anderson, her husband, and their newborn during Hurricane Helene before a water rescue team finally reached them.

Now, Anderson is turning one of the most terrifying moments of her life into a source of healing for others. She co-authored Goodbye, Little House, a children's book inspired by her family's experience and designed to help children process loss, trauma, and unexpected life changes.

The book offers a gentle way for families to have difficult conversations and find hope after disaster strikes.

Elisabeth joined me in the 11Alive streaming studio to share her remarkable story of survival, resilience, and how their experience is helping.
