In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, devastating not only buildings and homes, but the hope, spirit, and faith if its people. The
Saints were cast out on the road, not knowing when they would return home and faltered to a losing 3-13 season amidst the chaos. People wondered whether the city could even sustain an NFL team anymore.

Then a funny thing happened on the long road back from economic devastation. The city of New Orleans, its population cut in half and its local industry in tatters, rallied to buy up the first season-ticket sellout in franchise history. Led by Coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, coming off a near-career-ending shoulder injury, the Saints engineered a worst-to-first season that gave their fans a reason to believe, in both the team and in themselves. Together they inspired each other to do the impossible: put the Saints in the NFC Championship game, and put New Orleans on the road to recovery.

Though the Saints suffered a stinging loss in the NFC Championship, they
returned home as the true champions. In PATRON SAINTS, the former Saints reporter Alan Donnes has compiled over one hundred interviews with the players, coaches, politicians, and colorful locals who made it happen.
Together, these powerful voices recount the fractious history of the team
and the city, how the horror of Katrina brought them together, and how one
winning season has brought hope to a place that hope forgot.

In February 1892, Alfred Clay mobilized an army of progressive-mindedcitizens of New Orleans to wage "war against all the enemies of little children." Patterned after child-advocacy movements in England and thenortheastern United States the group incorporated as The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (LSPCC), and saved thousands ofchildren from poverty, abuse, and delinquency. The work took the organization's staff into dismal shanties, overcrowded tenements, exploitiveoyster canneries and cotton mills, and sad drug cribs of Storyville. Among the LSPCC's many success stories was Louis Armstrong, who thrived at thewaif's home the society operated. Today the organization remains committed to children and operates under the names of the Children's Bureau of New Orleans.
