About the Book:
On December 6, 1984, twelve year old Lisa Fierer is called out of class to the principal’s office and told that her mother has been killed and her father arrested for the crime. Over the next twenty years, Lisa battles through school, addiction, relationships and various forms of self-destruction. Along the way she learns that loss, violence and betrayal create a deep desire for something she calls the new ‘f-word’: forgiveness.
Thirst is about the distance between the lives we are given and the lives we choose. It’s a story about survival, hope, yoga, self-discovery and the tremendous support of compassionate communities. It touches the part of each of us that longs for the healing power of laughter, the transformative force of forgiveness and the bravery required to learn to love again.
This event is co-sponsored by SPAN.
