{"product_id":"9781483645100","title":"Fruit of the Womb","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor most of my life, the word “mother” had been a doubled-edged sword. When I was nine years old, my mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. This monster of a disease robbed my family of their mother and my mother of her family. Many years later, when I married at age twenty-three, I started an unexpected and deeply painful journey through infertility. I found myself in a place where few could ever begin to understand my pain and loss. As I struggled to have a family of my own, I began to reflect back on the loss of my own mother to mental illness. This book is dedicated to my mother, Susan. In writing this, I hope to share the tragic yet beautiful story of her life and to shed some light on the devastating effects schizophrenia has on families.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142116131056,"sku":"9781483645100","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483645100_p0.jpg?v=1763631611","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483645100","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
