{"product_id":"9781468919912","title":"Catchlight: Perspective Through an Optimistic Lens (and true story about a heart transplant)","description":"“The boy I’d had a crush on since high school, now my husband and father of our baby girl, is fighting for his life after an aggressive staph infection has ravaged his heart and placed him at the top of the transplant list.  We’re facing financial crisis, massive lay-offs, soaring medical bills, and worse... impending toddlerhood.  Life can be so uncool.  Good thing I’m armed.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ABOUT CATCHLIGHT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Finding humor, hope, and strength to endure just about anything may not seem as difficult after reading Catchlight, a memoir that has already inspired thousands.  Open the pages to step inside the unique mind of an eternal optimist, and experience how one thinks, processes, and responds to stress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Genevieve Ruth’s conversational prose feels welcoming, like an old friend, and is infused with just enough self-deprecation to keep things light as she shares intimate details about her past, the very real, very scary present, and how she is able to remain positive and keep her sanity, while fighting to stay strong for those who are unable to. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Catchlight offers comfort, guidance, a few laughs, a perspective-shift to a more positive outlook, unobstructed insight into the organ transplantation process, and a story that others can draw strength from when confronted by their own unimaginable circumstances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   ABOUT THE COVER ART\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  It is one of several heart-works created by the subject of this book, years before knowing he would need a transplant.  It features an older male and female, connected by a purple heart with a gold center.  It is a beautiful and symbolic image to honor and illustrate the story of both donor and recipient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  PHILANTHROPY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book benefit non-profit organ-donation advocacy programs and transplant-related research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Thank you for your support!","brand":"Booktango","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144342651120,"sku":"9781468919912","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468919912_p0.jpg?v=1763696385","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468919912","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
