{"product_id":"9780985837020","title":"Conspiring to Heal: A Love Story","description":"When Van Metaxas's wife, Maria, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in the winter of 2010-when their son, Satchi, was just seven years old-he began keeping an intimate journal of their quest for healing. He recorded the details of their visits with experts in oncology and integrative medicine, acupuncturists, a Tibetan healer, nutritionists, and their spiritual teacher, Ammachi, the hugging saint. He delved into cutting-edge scientific research as they sought out hope, clarity, and compassion in the sometimes-disheartening world of cancer treatment.  Most importantly, he kept an unflinchingly honest diary of their family's intimate moments: the way illness challenged and deepened their thirty-year marriage; their conversations with Satchi about healing, death, and God; and the final days of Maria's life, as she relinquished her role as wife and mother, and turned to face her reunion with God.  The result is a breathtaking story of one family's empowering journey to love open-heartedly in the face of illness and death. It will touch the hearts of anyone who has faced loss-or aspires to live each day more fully.","brand":"Van Metaxas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120616915184,"sku":"9780985837020","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985837020_p0.jpg?v=1763887503","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985837020","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
