A memoir about faith and justice.What began as a move to Arizona for peace became a battle for truth, survival, and justice.
After relocating 2,200 miles from Rhode Island, Arizona Realtor Jeanne Lomastro believed she had found a fresh start near family, horses, and the beauty of the desert. Instead, troubling questions surrounding a disputed well-share agreement, property disclosures, and legal pressure turned her dream into a years-long fight.
Thirst for One Woman’s Battle for Water in Arizona is a deeply personal memoir about faith, resilience, property rights, and standing firm when systems feel too overwhelming to fight alone.
For anyone who has ever felt unheard, betrayed, or pressured into silence, this book is a reminder that truth still matters — and refusing to give up can become its own form of victory.
This book is well written. It is consistent in content, format, and message. Jeanne delivers her story with clear insight, feeling, strength, and a passion for justice....in hope of helping others from her own hardship. Some real gems stand out: pg 7, "Some things I kept. Other I let go with a heavy heart. The hardest part was not the boxes. It was realizing how much of my life could fit inside them." pg 16, "Peace has a strange way of hiding while you are living in it." pg 27, "The kind of exhaustion that settles into your body and follows you everywhere. The kind that wakes up beside you in the morning and sits with you at night while you stare at the ceiling..." pg 36, "But by then, fear had become familiar. It no longer arrives as panic. It lingered quietly in the background like something I had learned to carry." pg 66, "Stress leaves fingerprints on your life..."...this entire page really.
