{"product_id":"9781477225547","title":"My American Dream","description":"You may think this is another boring “I came to America and made a fortune” story. Not so. Paulo Ronez has an interesting past, and he recounts all the turns and twists his life took from boyhood to 2012, when he wrote this book. Life was a struggle for him, even learning the English language was a struggle. He persevered, and he conquered.     Editors love to “polish up” a book. Paulo does not want to alter his text. Paulo is not a professional writer, but he wants his text left alone. I (his son Tony) also want the text left alone. This is to give you an honest true-to-life glimpse of how a real person writes a real book. Earnest Hemingway he is not, but a real person he is.     Today, my father is 85 years young, living a full life and having fun in Tampa. He refuses to wear a hearing aid, even though he was diagnosed with mild deafness. As he states: “No way, that’s for old people!”","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130808320240,"sku":"9781477225547","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477225547_p0.jpg?v=1763612589","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477225547","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
