{"product_id":"2940170701766","title":"The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family","description":"The Lost Boy has spent over two years on the New York Times best-seller list and has profoundly influenced more than one million readers' lives. Following the tremendous success of Pulitzer Prize nominee A Child Called \"It\", this book continues the extraordinary tale of author Dave Pelzer's childhood. On the verge of adolescence, Dave is rescued from his terrifyingly abusive, alcoholic mother and made a permanent ward of the court. Then the real journey begins. He is moved from one foster home to another searching for identity and family. A rebellious, defiant boy, Dave seeks attention by shoplifting, and even spends time in juvenile detention when suspected of arson. Finally, after five sets of foster parents, he finds a mother and father who love him. Pelzer--who has received commendations from Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton--travels throughout the world inspiring others through speeches and work to prevent child abuse. His courageous story is enhanced by Brian Keeler's thoughtful narration.","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105114734832,"sku":"2940170701766","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170701766_p0.jpg?v=1763813790","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170701766","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
