{"product_id":"9781458204592","title":"Saint Sullivan's Daughter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe jazz cats call him Saint Sullivan, but he’s far from pious. Musician Barry Sullivan drinks too much, can’t keep a job, and fights with his fiery Mexican wife. Ceci, their young daughter, witnesses their fury from the shadows. The child finds comfort with plaster saints and the spirits of her ancestors—until a tragic accident threatens her body and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGreat-aunt Pilar fears the Evil Eye and decides to intervene, taking Ceci and her family to a traditional Mexican healer, a \u003ci\u003ecurandera\u003c\/i\u003e. Even in the ultra-modern Los Angeles of 1960, ancient ways survive in the barrio. The \u003ci\u003ecurandera \u003c\/i\u003eprescribes an unconventional pharmacopeia of folk remedies, compassion, humor, and stories, which charm the ailing child.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBarry is caught between two worlds—the jazz scene, where he speaks the lingo, and the barrio, where he is a clueless foreigner stumbling into a dangerous feud. He teeters on the brink of peril, while the \u003ci\u003ecurandera \u003c\/i\u003easks of him a sacrifice few men of the era know how to make, even for the sake of love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abbott Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125564850416,"sku":"9781458204592","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781458204592_p0.jpg?v=1763866597","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781458204592","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
