{"product_id":"2940013471535","title":"Under the Poplars","description":"I was born in 1946 in Western North Carolina into a family whose life was filled with love, charity and compassion. They loved nothing more than to tell stories about themselves or other family members and to bust a gut laughing at it.  Except for the health and welfare of others, they never took anything seriously.  To them life was a journey filled with ups and downs, ins and outs, that each must take.  I learned at an early age to live life with a grain of salt and to be able to laugh at myself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter high school I enlisted in the U. S. Navy where I would spend twenty years traveling to places I did not know existed.  My career in the Navy gave the training and education that made me what I am today.  I will always remember those years, the things I did and the people I met with fondness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have had many stories in my mind but never the time to write.  Now that I am retired I have the time to do just that.  I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.  Dreams do come true in their own time.","brand":"Publish America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48797230137584,"sku":"2940013471535","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013471535_p0.jpg?v=1770323977","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013471535","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
