{"product_id":"9781503530089","title":"Never Give Up: The Story of Lily","description":"Although I was born into poverty, I’d worked hard my entire life. As a child, I worked long, hard hours on the farm. As a youth, I left home in search of a better life for myself and my two sons, landing work that I was ashamed of to this day. After I came to America, I continued working hard to provide for my families in the United States and Southeast Asia and to bring my sons to America, where I thought they would have a better life.  My success in America stemmed in large part from my ability to care for people with severe developmental disabilities. With this talent, I built a company that eventually employed sixty-five people and provided care for dozens of individuals.  Throughout it all, I believed in family. In fact, I believed in the concept of family so strongly that, looking back, I see that it often skewed the reality of my situation.  In 2014, after illness and a series of challenges put my career as a health-care provider on hold, I found myself in extremely unfamiliar territory—I was forced to take a hard look at my life and reexamine my beliefs and values. And what I’ve come to realize, in part, is that my fortune that I discovered in America has also been the root of my problems.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181491536112,"sku":"9781503530089","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503530089_p0.jpg?v=1763708882","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503530089","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
