{"product_id":"9780983051749","title":"Wander","description":"The true story of a five year old girl left in charge of her two baby sisters in a snowbound cabin in the Quebec woods,\u003cbr\u003eRose-Aimee's memoir is a tale of survival and spirit.\u003cbr\u003eRose-Aimee relives her childhood in the backwoods. She inhabited a tiny log cabin deep in the forest. Her family lived as pioneer woods people lived centuries before-growing, gathering their food; they survived by the heat of a fire; the light of an oil lamp, the laundry froze on the line. This instant classic evokes the\u003cbr\u003e\"Little House\" books of Laura Ingalls Wilder and lingers in one's mind long after the snow and the sucre a la crème melt.\u003cbr\u003e\"Rose Aimee is a literary discovery. She conjures a backwoods childhood so real, I could smell the pine resin, the wood smoke,\u003cbr\u003ethe scent of summer raspberries. With her unique style and warmth,\u003cbr\u003eshe escorts the reader into her past; a time and place which, even with its hardships, I never wished to leave. Families lived differently then; they were left with only one another for survival; entertainment.\u003cbr\u003eChildren were not wired to videos and cell phones; they diverted themselves with home-made dolls and the fire lit shadows on their log cabin wall. Her story is all the sweeter for its hard-won pleasures. Savor.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Laura Shaine Cunningham, author of\u003cbr\u003eSleeping Arrangements and A Place in the Country.\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003cbr\u003eRose-Aimee grew up as described in this book, in the\u003cbr\u003eQuebec backwoods. She is now a writer, living with her husband, in Manchester, New Hampshire.","brand":"Epigraph Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013762203888,"sku":"9780983051749","price":10.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780983051749_p0.jpg?v=1763884714","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983051749","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
