{"product_id":"2940148745310","title":"Blooming Late","description":"A woman who is still single at the age of forty has a better chance of shaking hands with an alien than she does of marrying the man of her dreams. Blooming Late is a story that busts this belief wide open.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s not too late for Brenda Wakefield. It’s the night of her fortieth birthday and her boyfriend of two years, Spencer Astin, is going to propose. She just knows it. She’s waited long enough and her Fairy Tale, finally, is going to come true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Spencer Astin doesn’t propose, he dumps her. Over the phone. Because she’s too old.\u003cbr\u003eAfter a family birthday brunch that’s interrupted with a trip to jail, Brenda returns to her normal. She’s a Technical Writer working for a software developer in Northern Virginia. Her typical Monday in the office is ambushed when she sees, online, a clothing store advertisement of her first True Love, her very own Prince Charming, who has become a glamorous, international male model. Brenda, in a massive ‘A-Ha Moment,’ suddenly realizes that there’s a difference between having a life and living a life. Sick of her little grey cube, tired of playing by the rules and coloring within the lines, she realizes that everything in her world just. Isn’t. Enough. Brenda snaps. It was one of those days. She quits her job and her life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrenda embarks upon a Quest to London, England to find her Prince Charming. She’s out to discover, once and for all, if it’s too late for her. Or, if there really is such a thing as Happily Ever After.","brand":"Debby Schyman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072733724912,"sku":"2940148745310","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148745310_p0.jpg?v=1763707669","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148745310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
