{"product_id":"9781250097576","title":"The Three of Us: A New Life in New York","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are guides to every aspect and every angle of parenthood-from prenatal to post-college-yet none tells us what couples really and truly feel once confronted with the awesome power of Nature's Course. \u003ci\u003eThe Three of Us\u003c\/i\u003e does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeasoned travelers, successful professionals, Joanna Coles and Peter Godwin arrived in Manhattan ready to make it their oyster-she to be the New York correspondent for a major British newspaper, he to pursue his prize-winning career as a writer and journalist. Of course they were self-absorbed; why come to New York, if not to explore every avenue of self-interest? The news that Joanna is pregnant, however, causes a massive shift in paradigm. Suddenly they are launched unsteadily but irrevocably toward an altogether new New World.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike a series of mental ultrasounds,\u003ci\u003e The Three of Us\u003c\/i\u003e consists of alternating diary entries in which, day by day and month by month, Peter and Joanna navigate the uncharted waters of impending parenthood. There is much to discuss-the pros and cons of raising a child in a neighborhood frequented by transvestite prostitutes, for example-yet their reactions are not always on the same page; male and female panic about the Joyous Event, as we learn, can differ sharply. But every parent-to-be, every parent-that-is, will recognize and rejoice in the wonderful, terrible, and sometimes hilarious anxieties that attend the building of a nest. \u003ci\u003eThe Three of Us\u003c\/i\u003e is a candid, refreshing, and reaffirming memoir about coming to terms with a new life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120733798640,"sku":"9781250097576","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250097576_p0.jpg?v=1769892819","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250097576","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
