{"product_id":"9781503589384","title":"Lions and Souls: The Story of St. Mary of Egypt","description":"Siren and saint, hedonist and penitent, Mary of Egypt was a woman of extremes. A runaway at the age of twelve, she ventured to Alexandria to begin a life of reckless promiscuity. But a pilgrimage to Jerusalem brought about an inward change that drew the adult Mary into wilderness and solitude.   From the monasteries of fifth-century Palestine to medieval Europe, the fame of this Desert Mother gradually spread—by both the written and the spoken word, and through visual art.   Lions and Souls is a work of fiction based on ancient accounts of Mary’s life. Retold for twenty-first-century readers, an enigmatic figure from a remote past is revealed to be surprisingly familiar and relevant.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143302725872,"sku":"9781503589384","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503589384_p0.jpg?v=1763708511","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503589384","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
