{"product_id":"9780981617978","title":"Alone in the Heartland","description":"The eight short stories in Alone in the Heartland honor the quiet dramas, heroic struggles, and life-altering transformations of people who live in rural communities scattered across America’s Midwest without glamorizing small town life. At the same time, the book admits to the darker side of human nature and the hidden undercurrents of communities everywhere. In Lamburton’s first collection, you will meet people you recognize—the lonely neighbor who feeds stray cats, the young couple struggling to hold their marriage together, the bored housewife longing to return to her roots. Lamburton writes with humor and a keen eye for life in America’s Heartland. Whatever your background, her characters will ring true.","brand":"Eddlesen \u0026 Rowe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49815933026544,"sku":"9780981617978","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780981617978","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
