Disappointment

 


              I saw something today that upset me. One of my very favorite people is a dumpster diver named Cathie. Despite her health and her Mother's, whom she cares for, she saves items to donate. Fifteen hours ago she was doing just that when she decided to check out a CVS.   After a bit of digging, she found several boxes of paperbacks.  Brad Taylor, Jude Deveraux,  Jennifer Ryan, Danielle Steel, Laura Griffin, Lee Tobin McClain, Stephen King, Clive Cussler,  Brenda Novak, J.A. Jance,  Allison Brennan, Stacey Abrams, Candace Camp, Lorraine Heath, Mary Kubica, Megan Hampton,  Debbie Macomber, Robyn Carr,  Lori Foster, etc. These books look like brand new. Covers were in place and they were in clean boxes. 

            I was very sick to my stomach when I saw this. How can CVS just box up these books? Why didn't THEY donate them? I presume they are paid for. Still aren't they supposed to remove the cover if they throw them away?
