{"product_id":"2940157159290","title":"Alina","description":"Alina is the true story of a beautiful and seductive woman seemingly born out of time and place to a culture inundated with pitfalls she was inherently unable to navigate. As a child she survived sexual molestation only to find herself in the grip of a lifelong untreated bi-polar condition.  This is an account of the thoughts and feelings of a woman who suffered through silent alternating periods of depression and a sense of omnipotence that eventually led her to the door of a psychopath. \u003cbr\u003eThe author reveals an early childhood dominated by a controlling and abusing grandfather, a chaotic relationship with her first husband and father of her first two children, a comparatively stable relationship with her second husband ending in a sudden violation of trust, and a brutal eight-year involvement with the father of her third child. \u003cbr\u003eAlina's story illustrates a fundamental flaw in the nature of three men who sought to fulfill their needs through the willing participation of a woman unaware of her own, and her desperate attempt to free herself from an existence that had spiraled into hell.\u003cbr\u003eIt is also a story of blind courage, resiliency, and a search for love.","brand":"Page Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114950279408,"sku":"2940157159290","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157159290_p0.jpg?v=1764092067","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157159290","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
