{"product_id":"2940046606249","title":"Blindsided! Good Grief","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe body wedged in the doorway, floating on a pool of glass shards and red liquid, was very much alive. But the body laid out under a Palo Verde tree in my retention pond was very much dead. The live body wedged in the doorway was blinded in the line of duty, living a demoralizing life of forced retirement with no enemies and no hope. The corpse under the Palo Verde tree was a county code enforcer with a plethora of enemies – and I was the targeted fall gal for the murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of Max – the bored blind guy; Irene – the blind guy's discontented wife, who retired from school teaching to help Max; and me – Joan Freed, the rebel life coach – plus a few more characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe met by accident – literally. After the clean-up, they shared Keurig coffee and Biscotta with me – my first for both, and we talked a little about ourselves – like you do when you meet new people. Max was the precise picture of what crushed self-esteem in men would look like – in my opinion. Irene still had enough stamina to pull me aside and ask for help in turning their devastating grief into good grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile I think the second body – the dead one – was a tad overkill to trigger Max into personal growth, expanding horizons, and his own success mindset, it worked – and I'm still here to tell you about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cozy mystery set in the desert southwest that started as two women on an adventure. Then came corruption, murder and mayhem, followed by life beyond biscotti – all from a bump on the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet on the journey train and enjoy the ride today. Get the book, read it, laugh, cry, and love. And please take a moment to leave your all-important review. It matters – a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexie Linn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075245424880,"sku":"2940046606249","price":2.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046606249_p0.jpg?v=1763696333","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046606249","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
