{"product_id":"2940013830622","title":"The Grandmother's Truth","description":"In this extraordinary story of family, love, loyalty, altruism, social solidarity and betrayal, Janvier Chouteu-Chando exposes us to the influence of three grandmothers in the lives of their grandchildren, and their uphill battle to mitigate the negative influences of their irresponsible children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reader is taken hand-in-hand through the lives of the characters in their doubts, estrangement, sense of loss and grip on hope, exposing insights that explain the humanity in us. We end up wondering whether these remarkable ladies are involved in acts of penance or acts of salvation, even as we find an explanation from the words of Lois Wyse who wrote that \"A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Grandmother's Truth comes before Dark Shades, and precedes The Hunger Fire in the short story collection entitled Me Before Them.","brand":"TISI BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145835528432,"sku":"2940013830622","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013830622_p0.jpg?v=1763595273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013830622","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
