{"product_id":"2940158865336","title":"My True Life in Short Stories","description":"From a very humble beginning filled with hardships, the sixth child in a family of fourteen, I was born on a small impoverished farm on the Gaspé Peninsula, in Quebec, Canada, just a tiny dot on the map as I say, and had a very unusual and fulfilled life. Living in ten major Canadian and us cities, always accidentally, I met unforgettable people such as a Roman Catholic Cardinal, Representatives of Governments in Canada, the Governor of Florida, as well as meeting internationally known singers such as Elvis Presley and Julio Iglesias, a WWII naval officer, hockey players, wrestlers and many more prominent people. I lived through illnesses, three earthquakes, car accidents, robberies at gun point and knife point, the Italian and Cuban exoduses and through the 9\/11 collapse of the Twin Towers by the terrorists, in ny. In my youth I even realized my dream of skydiving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI dedicate this book to Dr. Maria Pedro for saving my life in 2013, without whom there would not be a book to leave as my legacy to future generations, and to my dear sister, Françoise, who is always there for me.","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113203974384,"sku":"2940158865336","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158865336_p0.jpg?v=1764121816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158865336","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
