DESCRIPTION:
What would happen on the day they were asked to gather their things and leave--to walk out the door and be all alone on the street with no one to turn to and nowhere to go?With her mind racing about their grim futures, Katrell reached the simple conclusion that she couldn't walk away. She witnessed the throngs at the Ganges River, toured the tea fields of Darjeeling, and helped string pearls in conservative Hyderabad. Once back at her shop, an idea for The Learning Tea was born. But it was in a crowded

It was great to do with a book club because it brought up conversations that we probably wouldn't have had and inspired us to donate and think outside
