{"product_id":"2940154421963","title":"Gambit","description":"\u003cp\u003eGambit in chess is an opening move : the player sacrifices a pawn to gain some kind of advantage to win the game. Gambit in real life requires similar sacrifices. Life — and love — are full of risks. Sometimes we win; sometimes we lose. The important thing is to keep playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 26 poems in Gambit reveal the ways that the gambit has paid off or not, but always the game of life — and love — must go on. Laughter, trust, tears, hope, honesty, love and faith are the key elements for success in each arena. To live fully and to love fully, each act demands a gambit, which is also a gamble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a timeless quality to life when it is lived during moments that feel free and unknown. The sensation is eternity in a moment. It is rich and ripe and open to chance, just like the moments after the roll of the dice. The waiting game of the gambit begins . . . life lived without regret is the only way to win in life and in love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author, Debra Tanis Milligan, offers these poems to the reader as chances to see life, and love, even destiny — in winning ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Debra Milligan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111528186096,"sku":"2940154421963","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154421963_p0.jpg?v=1764067052","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154421963","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
