{"product_id":"9781491728512","title":"Destiny's Tapestry: I Walk This Path","description":"On a stormy night, as a hurricane raced up the Gulf Coast and created havoc in its path, Betty Gilliland was born on a corn shuck mattress in a barn at the foot of Sand Mountain. As soon as the midwife wrapped her in a blanket and gently laid her in a cow manger, Gilliland began a journey through life that would eventually test her spirit, courage, and, most of all, her power to forgive.  Gilliland begins by chronicling her growing up years during a challenging time in America’s history. Her father was drafted into the war and then abandoned his family, leaving Gilliland and her mother to eke out a life for themselves in their tiny cabin, surviving on a diet of wild greens, nuts, and roots. As she weaves through the threads of her life’s tapestry, Gilliland recalls the challenges she confronted during her difficult coming-of-age journey as she suffered through hardships, physical abuse, emotional abandonment, and her own self-destructive behavior. Yet through it all, she never lost the faith. What’s more, she used that faith to begin building a new life and to discover her roots.  Destiny’s Tapestry shares one woman’s poignant memories of moving from the darkness of abuse into the light of healing.","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172449042672,"sku":"9781491728512","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781491728512_p0.jpg?v=1763659213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781491728512","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
