{"product_id":"9781499046526","title":"The Plum Tree","description":"\"The Plum Tree is a Christmas story believe it or not. I was not intending at the time to write such a tale as the Plum Tree. In fact I hadn't been thinking of writing at all. It just happened that I awoke one morning during the Christmas season with this story, complete with characters and title, in my head and the wonderful feeling of its meaning and significance in my heart. I got up straight from bed and wrote it down. At the beginning the tale asks 'What is it that makes a person good?' The answer to that is a Mystery that defies words, but the effect of a good person on the life of another can be chronicled, and that is what the Plum Tree is, a short chronicle and poignant reminder that how we live our lives, despite circumstances, and how we relate to one another can have a profound and beneficial effect. I have my short-comings and am not always a good person, yet I believe it was not an accident I was unexpectedly gifted this tale of goodness to share with others, for I believe its message does not stray from the true meaning of the gift giving season in which we celebrate the Light that was gifted to the world through Christ.\"","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143228965104,"sku":"9781499046526","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781499046526_p0.jpg?v=1763704289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781499046526","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
