{"product_id":"2940154606766","title":"Tom's Season Trifecta","description":"\u003cp\u003eTom is a former soldier with an awful injury who lives with his mum. When she needs an operation, he finds himself in a care home. It is the beginning of spring—a season which renews Tom’s bitterness as it reminds him of the fighting season in Afghanistan. But, to beat the soul-eating boredom of his days, help him forget his medical issues and to please his mother (and keep his psychologist off his back), he starts a journal. Reluctantly, and somewhat sardonically, his journal becomes his therapist and he finds himself echoing his dead father’s habit of writing poetry. In doing so, he contrasts spring in two hemispheres; both of which have shaped his life. As summer nears, his mood lifts, especially when a fresh spring visits him. Tom’s Season Trifecta is a tale where childhood memories and a sense of family—even if that family is a little unknitted—can provide comfort when dealing with adversity. It is also a story that reminds us of the value of racial and religious acceptance and friendship. Ultimately, it is a story which acknowledges that hope is often what propels us forward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cat Saunders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103695192304,"sku":"2940154606766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154606766_p0.jpg?v=1764072999","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154606766","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
