{"product_id":"2940170805648","title":"Blackbird: A Childhood Lost and Found (Abridged)","description":"With the startling emotional immediacy of a fractured family photo album, Jennifer Lauck's incandescent memoir is the story of an ordinary girl growing up at the turn of the 1970s and the truly extraordinary circumstances of a childhood lost. Wrenching and unforgettable, \u003ci\u003eBlackbird\u003c\/i\u003e will carry your heart away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe house on Mary Street was home to Jennifer; her older brother B.J.; their hardworking father, who smelled like aftershave and read her \u003ci\u003eSnow White;\u003c\/i\u003e and their mother, who called her little daughter Sunshine and embraced Jackie Kennedy's sense of style. Through a child's eyes, the skies of Carson City were forever blue, and life was perfect -- a world of Barbies, \u003ci\u003eBewitched,\u003c\/i\u003e and the Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven her mother's pain from her mysterious illness could be patted away with hairspray, powder, and a kiss on the cheek...But soon, everything Jennifer has come to love and rely on begins to crumble, sending her on a roller coaster of loss and loneliness. In a world unhinged by tragedy, where beautiful mothers die and families are warped by more than they can bear, a young girl must transcend a landscape of pain and mistreatment to discover her richest resource: her own unshakable will to survive.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160916574448,"sku":"2940170805648","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170805648_p0.jpg?v=1769904775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170805648","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
