Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World<\/a>by Scott Harrison<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirst<\/em> is the story of Scott Harrison who left the unfulfilling dead-end party scene as a top nightclub promoter in New York City to found one of the biggest charities in the world. It is a story of redemption and coming to terms with his faith and his purpose in life. Harrison had no money and no experience when he started the charity: water, his non-profit organization that aims to bring clean drinking water to millions all over the world. Thirst <\/em>looks at Harrison\u2019s journey as he worked to build his charity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo takes her in, and both she and her neighbor learn more about Ursa as they form a bond. The story climaxes as Ursa gets closer to seeing the 5th<\/sup> miracle and secrets all come to light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Beth:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Husband\u2019s Secret <\/a>by Liane Moriarty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cecilia Fitzpatrick is so put together that she simply doesn\u2019t have time in her planner for her world to be turned upside down. But that\u2019s exactly what happens when she finds the letter: a letter her husband wrote years ago that\u2019s about to rock her world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Cecilia unravels, those involved with the content of that unburied letter begin to swirl toward each other on unpredictable paths lined with tension, uncertainty and determination to get to the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*I read this book in the airport and on a plane ride home after visiting my daughter at college. I could not put it down\u2014it\u2019s that good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Sara:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Keeper of Lost Causes<\/a>by Jussi Adler-Olsen <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book follows the story of Carl Morck, a homicide detective, who is devastated when two of his fellow detectives are killed and he holds himself responsible. Dark and mysterious, this story follows Carl as he is promoted and begins to work on a cold case involving a liberal politician who vanished 5 years earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*This book is the first in a series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Debra:<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Educated<\/a><\/em> by Tara Westover<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author Tara Westover shares her\nupbringing by parents who did not believe in education or medical care. She\nsurvives an abusive situation at home. She does not attend school until she is\n17 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the DutchCrafters Book Club:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The DutchCrafters Book Club<\/a> is currently reading Night Film<\/a> by Marisha Pessl<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night Film<\/em> is a mystery thriller that starts with young Ashely Cordova dead of an apparent suicide. But was that the case? Investigative journalist Scott McGrath looks deeply into her life and the circumstances surrounding her death. This brings him closer to the world of her legendary father, horror cult film director Stanislas Cordova, a recluse that has been hiding from the public for 30 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An earlier investigation of Cordova\nruined McGrath\u2019s reputation, job and personal life. This time he\u2019s out to uncover all\nthe details of this story. But it could cost him even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some great bookcase<\/a> options to keep your collection of books and some accent table<\/a> styles with spaces for keeping your kindle tucked away when you\u2019re not using it.<\/p>\n\n\n
