A book built by Hot Springs, for Hot Springs
Through Our Eyes was born from an open call to our community: share your photos, your stories, and your truths. The response was overwhelming. From the first responders who braved the rising waters to the neighbors who pulled one another to safety, hundreds of submissions poured in.

Proceeds from this book support Rebuild Hot Springs Area’s ongoing recovery efforts.
