I of the Hurricane: Eating Up a Storm by Sema Gurun and Stephanie Rugoff
Kali developed I of the Hurricane over the course of years. She based it on her beloved dog Hurricane and their experiences living in Southern California. She kept an ongoing journal of the daily adventures of her pets, especially her most imaginative one, Hurricane. She included Hurricane’s day-to-day interactions with her other pets – namely, her dog named Prince and her two cats, Thunder and Lightning.

When Kali died in 2012 she left that manuscript to her sister, Sema Gurun, and her friend, Stephanie Rugoff. Read More
