{"product_id":"9781462823628","title":"Reflections of a Self-Made Man","description":"Through these pages you'll experience two very true and meaningful  \u003cbr\u003elove stories. I've seen love from both sides now. That doesn't mean in  \u003cbr\u003ewinning or losing. In both of these encounters of the heart I don't consider  \u003cbr\u003eeither one as a loss. Carol taught me how to open up my heart and receive  \u003cbr\u003elove unconditionally. I loved her with my total being. Charlotte proves to  \u003cbr\u003eme every day that she loves me unconditionally. Both of these incredible  \u003cbr\u003ewomen had and have my heart in nothing less than total commitment.  \u003cbr\u003eYou will also experience a victory over a life long and very personal  \u003cbr\u003eissue. Gender disorders are very serious in nature; for they are fooling  \u003cbr\u003ewith Mother Nature. We exist with invisible birth defects that are very  \u003cbr\u003evisible to us. Some of us don't make it to the victory party of our body's  \u003cbr\u003eemergence. Some of us try to cut out the parts that shouldn't be there.  \u003cbr\u003eMany die, or try to escape with drugs or alcohol.  \u003cbr\u003eI've told the story with my usual sense of humor, honesty and passion  \u003cbr\u003efor life. These are all very important traits that have helped me survive  \u003cbr\u003eduring my journey. Now I'm looking to the future with a new body and  \u003cbr\u003ename, more fi tting to my heart, soul and spirit.  \u003cbr\u003eSome people may not agree with what I have done. I challenge them  \u003cbr\u003eto read \"Refl ections\" with an open heart and mind, imagining themselves  \u003cbr\u003ein my shoes walking down the same path.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158599287024,"sku":"9781462823628","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462823628_p0.jpg?v=1763678732","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462823628","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
