{"product_id":"9781456884598","title":"Food Gypsies Of Lovejoy","description":"Pull up a seat at the Common Table and enjoy a humorously heart-warming walk down the seemingly  \u003cbr\u003epristine and orderly streets of the small rural town of Lovejoy, precariously tucked between progress  \u003cbr\u003eand pride. When the beloved money-angel to the town, Harlan Garfi eld Newsom, suddenly dies from  \u003cbr\u003ethe sheer exhaustion of caring for the needs of the townspeople, the entire town is sent into panic. In  \u003cbr\u003eorder to protect the town from fi nancial collapse Harlan has left an unconventional Last Will requiring  \u003cbr\u003eseven \"unique\" members- comprised of Mennonites, business owners, and town offi cials-to launch  \u003cbr\u003eThe Ample Harvest Project which can make Lovejoy a destination attraction rather than a casualty  \u003cbr\u003eof progress. If they succeed they are promised $125,000. If they fail, they lose the investment and  \u003cbr\u003esuccess of their town. This novel is sure to tickle your funny bone and tug at your heart-strings as you  \u003cbr\u003eaccompany the townspeople and witness a cavalcade of dirt swept under everyone's carpets, and  \u003cbr\u003euncover more skeletons than cobwebs in their closets.  \u003cbr\u003eFood Gypsies of Lovejoy is an unorthodox view of the fi eld-to-fork food movement told through the juicy  \u003cbr\u003eand the just gossip-mills which binds the townspeople of Lovejoy. Unlike most novels within the genre,  \u003cbr\u003eit is a touching yet poignant journey witnessed through the eyes of the motley collection of producers  \u003cbr\u003eand growers within the market tent rather than those on the more civil consumer side of the counter.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155339919600,"sku":"9781456884598","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456884598_p0.jpg?v=1763858387","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456884598","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
