{"product_id":"9781477295083","title":"Just Passing Through: Short Stories","description":"Just Passing Through explores the many ways people face life’s troubles. Though scientific ideas have forced their way into some of these stories, the focus is on the characters’ lives: A loving mother dictates her son’s life as a despot … a priest discovers he has sinned … two recent widowers find their mutual attraction disturbing … a watchmaker learns the exact date of his death … a man sees the world collapsing and cannot decide if he is hallucinating or losing his mind; perhaps he can reverse the collapse … beings from a distant planet plan to settle on earth.  Several stories are nonfictional, personal memoirs.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130811269360,"sku":"9781477295083","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477295083_p0.jpg?v=1763614090","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477295083","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
