{"product_id":"9781462834846","title":"Tales of a Male Stripper: My Transformation: How I Succeeded","description":"When one thinks of transformation, it usually signifies change on a multiplicity of levels, which is what this book represents to me on a personal level.  It is not meant to be an autobiography, but rather the view of life from the perspective of a male stripper reflecting on the events that played a significant role in the development of me as a person.  I have learned over time that everything happens for a reason.  We are not always privileged to know the “why” or even “see” that reason, but somehow it is always there.  I have worked very hard to get to where I am now, and let me tell you that nothing came easy.  I faced many challenges and made many mistakes along the way.  Through much drive and determination, as well as a host of fortuitous occurrences, I wish to pass along to you, my reader, how I overcame adversity, became a successful member of society, and basically “beat the odds”. What a “transformation” of life I never thought possible and I thank GOD every day for what I have!","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129498157296,"sku":"9781462834846","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462834846_p0.jpg?v=1763678863","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462834846","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
