SUMMARY:"The Water Factor" Author Reading
DESCRIPTION:A reading and discussion with author Marilynne Eichinger \nJoin members of Community for Earth for a reading from The Water Factor\, a near-future eco-thriller set in the Oregon High Desert\, and a discussion of what happens when something as sacred as water is treated as a commodity instead of a human right. Light refreshments provided. Grab a drink from coffee hour and join us for a lively conversation.  \nThe Water Factor raises urgent moral and spiritual questions about stewardship\, justice\, and our responsibility to one another. Award-winning author Marilynne Eichinger follows James Hokama Byrne as his trust in corporate systems gives way to a deeper calling to protect life and community. Set in Oregon’s High Desert and drought-stricken Ethiopia\, the novel blends action and compassion into a powerful call to conscience. Join us for a conversation about the story\, the real-world issues behind it\, and what our faith asks of us in a time of climate crisis and growing inequality.
