{"product_id":"9781468509854","title":"William's Book of Poems and Short Stories","description":"A few years after I had been out of High School, I had started to learn how to write poetry.  I was about 23 years old at the time.  I was learning how to write and at the same time I was helping around the family farm.  While growing up on the farm, we had a prime example to follow because our Grandmother, Agnes Just Reid, was a well-known local author.  She had written and published a book about her mother’s life along with three volumes of poetry.  I am the fifth of seven children with an older sister, three older brothers and two younger sisters.  Early in my experimental writing stage, I had one of my first pieces of poetry published.  My grandmother was still alive at the time.  Of all of my family members, I am the only one who cared about carrying on the writing tradition that our grandmother started.  Writing has been a life-long interest of mine and the thing I cared about most in my whole life.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125964980464,"sku":"9781468509854","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468509854_p0.jpg?v=1763695335","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468509854","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
