DESCRIPTION:Full of Lit Book Club\nHayley and her seven-year-old daughter\
 , Frith\, live in a rustic cabin with no electricity in the foothills of V
 ermont’s Green Mountains. A renowned translator of Tang dynasty poetry\,
  Hayley walked away from her career and her addict husband to raise Frith 
 alone in a land populated not by ambition-fueled academics but by hawks\, 
 beavers\, and other wild things—including their exuberant Bernese Mounta
 in dog\, Bear. They get by on what little they earn from their overgrown a
 pple orchard and the syrup they make from their maple trees. Frith— pr
 ecocious\, homeschooled\, and a voracious reader—considers herself queen
  of this backwoods paradise. She is too young to understand the pain and r
 egret that have followed her mother here.\n\nSeason after season\, it is t
 he three of them—mother\, daughter\, and dog—until the spring day when
  Rose Lattimore appears at their door and upends Hayley and Frith’s soli
 tary existence. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes\, Frith must come to ter
 ms with heartbreak for the very first time. By turns joyful and searing\, 
 The Orchard reminds us that\, even during the hardest of times\, the endur
 ing power of nature\, love\, and friendship will prevail.

DESCRIPTION:Full of Lit Book Club\nTrevor Noah’s unlikely path from apar
 theid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act
 : his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mot
 her at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Li
 ving proof of his parents’ indiscretion\, Trevor was kept mostly indoors
  for the earliest years of his life\, bound by the extreme and often absur
 d measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could\, at a
 ny moment\, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa
 ’s tyrannical white rule\, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand ad
 venture\, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by 
 a centuries-long struggle.\n\nBorn a Crime is the story of a mischievous y
 oung boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himse
 lf in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story o
 f that young man’s relationship with his fearless\, rebellious\, and fer
 vently religious mother—his teammate\, a woman determined to save her so
 n from the cycle of poverty\, violence\, and abuse that would ultimately t
 hreaten her own life.\n\nThe stories collected here are by turns hilarious
 \, dramatic\, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for
  dinner during hard times\, being thrown from a moving car during an attem
 pted kidnapping\, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of
  dating in high school\, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an inci
 sive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a mov
 ing and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged
  world in a dangerous time\, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a m
 other’s unconventional\, unconditional love.
