{"product_id":"9780996295703","title":"To Swim Beneath the Earth","description":"MEGAN KIMSEY, born and raised in a small Colorado town on the edge of the La Plata Mountains, grows up haunted by images. Straddling cryptic glimpses of events that foretell her own future, and events remembered from a past in the highlands of Ecuador and Peru more than 400 years before she was born, she must challenge her Catholic upbringing and the stigma of a mental breakdown following a childhood tragedy, before she can strike out on a quest for meaning.\u003cp\u003eMegan's story shifts between present tense and flashbacks that recount her nervous breakdown and grief, when, as a teenager, a child she loves freezes to death on the family's front porch. And later, when her father, the one person who believes her strange visions aren't hallucinations, dies in a hit-and-run accident. His death and the belated birthday gift he leaves for her, launch her on a quest to face her phantoms and piece together the riddles in her dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMegan's journey leads her to South America and an expedition among the remnants of the Inca Empire, and finally, to a wind-swept outcropping high atop Cotopaxi Mountain in search of the frozen child she sees in her dreams. Accompanied by a team of archeologists and an indigenous woman of wisdom who becomes her mentor and guide, Megan must confront her ghosts and claim her own redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Horn Rimmed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50080696729840,"sku":"9780996295703","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780996295703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
