{"product_id":"9780692637722","title":"Memories of a Beaverdam Boy","description":"This book is my autobiography. My target readers are my family and my progeny. Over the years I have regretted not talking to my grandparents more about their lives and their parents and grandparents. I hope this book fills that void for my progeny. I have written it, too, for my friends and for my neighbors in Beaverdam who have often asked me about the history and events in Beaverdam that I have witnessed and heard from the \"old folks\" that I knew. \u003cbr\u003e An autobiography must pass through a very strong filter. It is an inherent part of the process. Winston Churchill has been quoted as saying, \"History will be kind to me. I know because I intend to write it.\" The strongest filter I have applied is neglecting most of the interactions between myself and my family, my wife and children. I have left those parts out because they know them. Otherwise, I have strived to make the material interesting to read and coherent within the confines of a life. I have also sought to revel myself and depict my life journey from an isolated farm to some exotic career and international travel activities.","brand":"Charles Layne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015083081968,"sku":"9780692637722","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692637722_p0.jpg?v=1763616072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692637722","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
