{"product_id":"2940148386308","title":"Transforming Helen","description":"Helen's austere life belies her wealthy background, but her refusal to share her history gives evidence of a mysterious past. Even as we catch glimpses of the real Helen--pragmatic, well organized, intuitive, strong--and see a softer side as she constantly works to help children, we wonder...\u003cp\u003eWhat happened to her husband?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy did she move across the country from her in-laws?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat drove her to alcoholism?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy does she fight so ardently for her children?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor what is she trying to compensate?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd, most important, who is this woman?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep within Helen lies a dark secret. As she transforms the lives of others and represents children's best interest to the courts, Helen also provides the opportunity for her father-in-law to redeem himself. In the process, Helen ever-so gradually transforms herself. Giving to others, she learns to trust. And to engage with life again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a single gesture or a few words, Morgan Blair paints the whole person, and characters fill the frames, fully formed in our minds. Morgan understands our simple exterior covers a complex nature. Transforming Helen exposes that complexity and takes us on a twisting path to living the ideal life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Publishers Network","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072614318320,"sku":"2940148386308","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148386308_p0.jpg?v=1763701790","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148386308","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
