{"product_id":"9781466968448","title":"Beyond the Fire and the Rain","description":"In July 1978, Dr. Wilbert Williams Jr. was standing on a street   corner in Brooklyn, New York, afraid for his life. It had been less   than three months since he was awarded a medical degree from   Albany Medical College in upstate New York; yet there he   was—enduring racial slurs from a group of angry white people who   hated him simply because of the color of his skin. Even as the   police stood guarding him, the group continued to taunt him with   the words, “He can go back where he came from.” \u003cp\u003e  In his poignant memoir, Williams narrates the story of how he beat   overwhelming odds, as an African American youth growing up in a   public housing project in Brooklyn, New York, to eventually become   a physician. While chronicling a journey that took him from the   streets of New York through the challenges of medical school to   the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Croix, he details how he   learned to prevail over racism, anxiety, and depression in order to   achieve his dream of becoming a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Dr. Williams’s inspiring story offers motivation to soar over the   challenges of life and reach for the stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107573285104,"sku":"9781466968448","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466968448_p0.jpg?v=1763690124","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466968448","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
