"DEFIANCE ON DESIRE STREET"


6 of 11

Cheryl Cook has a heart condition and when her heart beats rapidly she wants everyone around her to feel how hard it beats. She and Joe Smith have lived across the street from each other on Desire Street for several years and now that they're dealing with at least 4 feet of water coming up to their front porches after Hurricane Katrina, Cheryl has been wading over to make red beans and rice for Joe and their friends. The group has banded together on Desire Street and vows they won't be forced out of their homes.
