What is Zeitoun's Fate

Zeitoun and Kathy filed a lawsuit demanding compensation for Zeitoun’s incarceration, but it had not progressed much by 2008, when Zeitoun was written. Both Zeitoun and Kathy continue to suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress, but they persevere and refuse to leave New Orleans. Zeitoun takes great satisfaction from rebuilding both the city (through his contracting business) and his life (through his family).
