{"product_id":"9781483685540","title":"TRANSPARENCY","description":"Self-worth, encouraging, motivating, transparent, transparency; these are words to describe the content within this new book of mine. I felt as though I needed to invoke a change within the general public, through the experiences I have encountered in my life. I've compiled a collection of poems and short stories that deal with situations we struggle with daily. Just to let you know,  I didn't point the finger at anyone. I made it my duty to show the general public, the transparency of me.  At first, I was tentative with the content I was writing. But the realization of it all, is me accepting who I was and not hiding behind the metaphors of poems. However, in retrospect and in light of it all, I had to accept who I was. That was when I learn how to forgive.  \"I want to be remembered as dead poets are forgotten\" -Leon D Labastide-  \"Don't be a public success, but a private failure. Your level of faith should be greater in private then public. Your success comes through your private endeavors, not your public.\" -Leon D Labastide-    \"Me being transparent is me being remember forever.\"  - Oswin Benjamin-","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130269778160,"sku":"9781483685540","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483685540_p0.jpg?v=1763631983","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483685540","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
