{"product_id":"9780985330170","title":"A Closet Full of Masks","description":"Susan Snowden's wry humor suffuses even the most poignant of these stories, all set in the South--from south Georgia to southern Appalachia. Thematically, she treats readers to a smorgasbord of tales whose characters are struggling in various ways. Presented with a rare opportunity, an artist must face his insecurity; an uneducated woman searches for a way to win her son's respect; a reclusive librarian seeks solace after the death of her father; a divorced woman is shocked by her behavior when she starts dating again. And in the title novella an eighteen-year-old,\u003cbr\u003eaway from home for the first time, encounters difficulties she never anticipated.\u003cbr\u003e Clearly the author understands her characters, each with a distinctive voice and worldview, and that she cares about them enough to redeem them--or at least give them hope--regardless of the challenges they face.","brand":"archer hill publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50086408585456,"sku":"9780985330170","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985330170","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
