The books you mentioned ...

The Breakfast Club recap is below, but I also wanted to post information about two books that were discussed and came highly recommended:

Same Kind of Different as Me, by Ron Hall and Denver Moore, about an unlikely friendship between two men from vastly different walks of life. Ron Hall is from Fort Worth.

Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert, about a woman's decision to leave the trappings of her old life behind, to heal and go forward, while traveling through Italy, India and Indonesia.
