{"product_id":"9780692401972","title":"I The Son: An Anthology of Poems, Short Stories, Songs and Slices of Life","description":"I The Son is the collected pieces of one person's experiences: The human experience broken into chapters and told through poems, song lyrics, short stories and slices of life; the snapshots of experiences put to words and expressed honestly, artistically, and at times...painfully. From a trip to the south, as seen through the eyes of a six year old, to an angry heartfelt plea to the community and the country, this work will challenge, inspire, and encourage you. It is a triumphant journey of the human spirit through adversity, and demonstrates in the most poetic language the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.\u003cp\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarryl V.
