A Memoir to Remember

We all love a great story but these great stories written by ordinary people who have been through extraordinary times have moved us. They stay with us long after we turn the last page and they change us, for the better. They make us stronger and remind us how precious life is and how the world we live in is a place where we are taught real life lessons about love, compassion, tragedy, survival, redemption, and determination.

You may find yourself crying, smiling, or even laughing through chapters of these amazing books but as you are reading these unbelievably powerful stories, we know that the one thing you won’t be able to do is put any of these books down.

“We are firm believers that knowledge is power and the best way to uplift our kids and to break the cycle of poverty is through learning.” – Kirby Thomas

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. We are so proud to be part of such a special and amazing story!
