{"product_id":"9780988539532","title":"Our Sheltered Lives","description":"Our Sheltered Lives tells the stories of homeless men who temporarily inhabit a sheltered place, the Albuquerque Opportunity Center. Aided by the staff, some find permanent housing, some gain benefits from social services, and some return to the streets. A few die there. Told through the eyes of a volunteer, the book chronicles the lives of typical homeless men during a transitional time in their lives, a time that proved to be a transitional time for the author as well. Fred Bales, a professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico, began volunteering at the Albuquerque Opportunity Center when he retired in 2005.","brand":"ABQ Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014180061424,"sku":"9780988539532","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780988539532_p0.jpg?v=1763892699","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780988539532","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
