{"product_id":"9780692661673","title":"Fallen Star Dust","description":"When I reached the point where adult life began to make its presence known right after high school graduation, I looked to the sky. I hoped to see a shooting star that would light my way and I wished that it would leave a trail of star dust behind to remind myself to stay young at heart.\u003cp\u003eThanks to writing, the enchantment of youth has never left me. In the next chapter of my life, I began college to follow my dream of being an educator. I developed my career, found out who I was an independent being, stopped hiding my passions, figured out my role in my lifelong relationship with my now-husband, and realized that it was okay to question the world. There was darkness that needed to be seen as well as the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems, short stories, scripts, essays, and other works in this second collection are my everything: the shoulders I cried on, my joys, my bravery when the road became too twisty or too safe. It led me to a waterfall of creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat fallen star dust gave me the drive to become who I am today: a teacher, an author, a nerd, and a person of morals, love, and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paper Crane Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50016790642928,"sku":"9780692661673","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692661673_p0.jpg?v=1784244012","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692661673","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
