{"product_id":"9781453501337","title":"New Shoes: Let People In; Ending the Circle","description":"New Shoes was a passing thought from years ago.  I had begun a new journey in life of self-discovery.  Many unanswered questions were being discovered.  Many small steps were taken to begin to gain a better perspective of self.  A real self-assurance was born.  The journey involved a lot of hard work, persistence and determination.  Such remarkable, indescribable feelings emerged.  A sense of real pride was developing.  A person of character and strength grew.  \u003cbr\u003eAfter many years of changes and growth, a writing course undertaken got me to think about my promise to myself to write a book some day; New Shoes.  I gathered up some clinical files (from cognitive therapy), organized past letters, reflective writing and poems.  I devoted a March Break to undertaking the task of fully letting others in.  Both the writing and reading of the book added further healing to the author.  \u003cbr\u003eI am well aware of where I have been and who I am today.  I hope to never have to experience many things again from the past.  Choices I made helped shape who I am today.  Through my personal growth, I am very comfortable in my own skin.  No one should have to feel so terribly alone.  Perhaps if I had done some of my own reading and sharing earlier, the healing process would have been quicker.  \u003cbr\u003eEnjoy New Shoes and always remember, everyone has a story to tell.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143325532400,"sku":"9781453501337","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453501337_p0.jpg?v=1763856749","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453501337","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
