{"product_id":"2940157442651","title":"You Were Made for Me","description":"It was the spring of breaks and outbreaks; of freakish storms and a freedom movement and, in a place called the Deuce, of disappearing little black boys. Ten-year-old Jam is the daughter of volatile and child-like Ernestine, and soon, she is the victim and unwitting accomplice of Ernestine's shady boyfriend, Nuk. She gets no real love except that which comes from her playmate, Belly, and Belly's aunt, Miss Gail. And she has no real champion except the father of her imagination, the King if Cinn, who lives in a bleach-white kingdom of wealth and beauty and who doesn't come to get her because \"kings don't rule small things.\" Soon, though, Jam discovers that that isn't true. That, in fact, life is as the prophetess, Crazy Peta, often says, \"We come to the world corded to what's ours. Tied to what belongs to us, like a rutabaga to its roots.\" And in the Deuce, that enclave of magic and menace, freedom is cleaved to courage, evil has its like remuneration, and eventually, everything and everybody gets what is made for them. Good or bad.","brand":"Tamarisk Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083947065584,"sku":"2940157442651","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157442651_p0.jpg?v=1764101979","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157442651","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
