{"product_id":"2940011344381","title":"Tripping Over Akron: Alcoholism \u0026 Insanity","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1999 when my only child moved from Ohio to Oregon it ocurred to me that one day she might appreciate having a journal describing the events leading up to her unusual birth. I never married Katie's father because of something terrible he did to me in 1970 and I never discussed the incident with anyone. When Katie married and was expecting her first child I emailed her father to tell him we were to become grandparents. This led to a rekindling of our love\/lust for each other and nearly destroyed both our marriages as well as my sanity. After another failed suicide attempt, quite a bit of psychotherapy, and a return to AA, it was suggested I continue my journal and elaborate on my experiences living the hippy lifestyle with my sister Carol during the late 1960's and 70's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks (or not) to my alcoholism and mental illness my life could have been written into a soap opera. Throughout my adult years I've frequently heard, \"You should write a book.\" I finally took that advice. I credit my sense of humor with seeing me through my worst catastrophes and I hope the reader understands that laughter gets a lot of the credit for saving my life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donna Runeric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068598730992,"sku":"2940011344381","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011344381_p0.jpg?v=1763548752","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011344381","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
