{"product_id":"9781465325396","title":"S.N.A.F.U.","description":"S.N.A.F.U. is the third installment in the continuing saga of a northern Maine potato farmer who works as hard as he can just to be himself.  Forty years ago, he joined the Marines, just to see the world, and ended up a captive in North Vietnam for a decade, and distrusted by his own people.  Twenty-five years later, an accident on the farm sends him on a quest for the reasons behind that treatment by his own people.  \u003cbr\u003eIt is now the year 2005, and, for some reason, the military has not discharged his name from their list of active soldiers, and he is called into action.  At age sixty, and still recovering from neurological trauma, he finds himself dropped in the middle of the world's largest sandbox, alone, and lost.  Seeking safety, he again finds succor only in the hands of those who have been called \"the enemy.\"  \u003cbr\u003eHis journey home would destroy a more sophisticated gentleman; but, for Jud Userle, being himself has always been what he is about.  In a world filled with hatred and violence, he finds warmth, because that is what he is willing to bring to the world.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143916273904,"sku":"9781465325396","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465325396_p0.jpg?v=1763683397","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465325396","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
