I’m passing down to my kids what I know to be true, not out of moral obligation, but out of love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eighty Orchard Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112073576688,"sku":"9780999560013","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780999560013_p0.jpg?v=1763894385","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780999560013","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
