Parched
One woman's journey to the bottom of the bottle-and back again. In this moving, emotionally charged, and unflinching look at alcoholism and its effects, lawyer and prominent National Public Radio writer and commentator Heather King describes her twenty-year-long descent into the depths of addiction with wit and candor. King went from a highly functioning alcoholic who managed to maintain her grip on reality to living in the lowest of dive bars, drinking around the clock and barely sustaining an existence. With help from the most unexpected source, King stopped her self-destructive spiral and changed her world for the better. This is the poignant, painfully honest, and inspirational true story of a woman who looked into the abyss, and was able to step back from the edge and reclaim her life on her own terms..

Roots in a Parched Ground, Convicts, Lily Dale, The Widow Claire: Four Plays from the Orphans' Home Cycle (Foote, Horton)
Classical in its breadth and scope, Horton Foote’s nine-play Orphans’ Home Cycle begins with a father’s death in a small Texas town at the turn of the century, a loss that sends his son, twelve-year-old Horace Robedaux, on an odyssey through the darkest corners of the heart. Caught in the rift between his father’s and his mother’s families, Horace is separated from what family he has left to spend a horrifying year on a decaying plantation worked by black convicts from a nearby prison. Even more devastating is the reunion with his mother, his sister Lily Dale, and his new stepfather—a reunion that will leave him an orphan in spirit, if not in name. .

Dancing in the Desert: Spiritual Refreshment for Your Parched Soul
A Formatio book. "I've been a desert dweller most of my life, living in Arizona I know how to endure the heat. I know not to go outdoors without my SPF lotion. . . . But none of my practical knowledge prepared me to face the spiritual desert where I lived for a year," writes Marsha Crockett.The variety of life circumstances that left Crockett in a spiritual desert are the same ones you may have experienced: disappointment, weariness, crisis, discontentment, selfishness, confusion, death and waiting. Perhaps you still feel buried by sand, wondering if you'll ever see light or feel the cool breeze of God's breath.Marsha did. And she wrote this book to help other desert-dwellers find their way back to God. You'll be encouraged by reading her story and reflecting on similar stories of biblical characters. Journaling ideas and spiritual exercises highlighted in "Rest Stops" included within each chapter will help you draw close to God. You may even find, as Crockett did, that the desert can be a joyful place.Come then, and learn to dance in the midst of your desert..

Parched Earth
This is an extraordinary first novel by a Tanzanian women writer. The central character, Doreen, tells her story in the first person narrative Born into a women headed household in a rural area, her inner life and development mirror her life's passage: education, career, the town, marriage and motherhood. Whilst not didactic nor impinging on beautifully crafted writing, the novel deals with gender politics from a local level rather than a western oriented feminist stance. Both fatalism and seperatism are rejected and the book is imbued with insights and touchstones about the female condition..
