{"product_id":"9781426943980","title":"The Story of Babalou Roy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are the stories of sorrow and hope. Of kindness and fear. A troubled alcoholic accidentally ends up in heaven. A young girl falls in love with her molester. A celebrity's girlfriend hides her bruises with diamonds and designer clothes. A woman loses sight of her husband as she hesitantly attempts to cross the Mexican\/American border. These are the stories of love and loss. Of dreams and regrets in cities that refuse to shine their light on the forlorn faces of the down-trodden and dispossessed. The Story of Babalou Roy is a brilliantly original, deft and sometimes darkly funny collection of short stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153855070448,"sku":"9781426943980","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781426943980_p0.jpg?v=1763746657","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781426943980","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
