{"product_id":"9781451644302","title":"Blackbird: A Childhood Lost and Found","description":"With the startling emotional immediacy of a fractured family photo album, Jennifer Lauck's incandescent memoir is the story of an ordinary girl growing up at the turn of the 1970s and the truly extraordinary circumstances of a childhood lost. Wrenching and unforgettable, \u003cb\u003eBlackbird\u003c\/b\u003e will carry your heart away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe house on Mary Street was home to Jennifer; her older brother B.J.; their hardworking father, who smelled like aftershave and read her Snow White; and their mother, who called her little daughter Sunshine and embraced Jackie Kennedy's sense of style. Through a child's eyes, the skies of Carson City were forever blue, and life was perfect -- a world of Barbies, Bewitched, and the Beatles. Even her mother's pain from her mysterious illness could be patted away with hairspray, powder, and a kiss on the cheek....But soon, everything Jennifer has come to love and rely on begins to crumble, sending her on a roller coaster of loss and loneliness. In a world unhinged by tragedy, where beautiful mothers die and families are warped by more than they can bear, a young girl must transcend a landscape of pain and mistreatment to discover her richest resource: her own unshakable will to survive.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155676348656,"sku":"9781451644302","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451644302_p0.jpg?v=1769907123","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451644302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
