In her memoir’s closing pages, Mary Johnson writes, “The story of my journey is a gift I want to offer others.”  Mary’s beautiful story was a gift to creative women long before it found its way onto the page.  An Unquenchable Thirst is a story woven with gifts. 

AROHO shares and celebrates the publication of Mary’s memoir with every woman who ever longed to be a writer, worked as a writer, published a book, won a prize, never won a prize, sent a query, wrote an article, or waited until paid or unpaid work was done to sit down and quietly create.

Mary’s story is her gift to you. The story of an ex-nun from Beaumont, Texas, living much of her adult life in the order of Mother Teresa, who finally knew what she wanted, who asked for and received help.  The story of a woman who, given a gift, made her book—and, as a result, the books of other women—a reality.
