{"product_id":"9781504012331","title":"Redeeming Eve","description":"Thirty-year old Eve Sterling is a ’90s woman with a hankering for the 18th century. A literature scholar writing her thesis on Jane Austen, Eve lives alone in Manhattan, is eclipsed by her domineering mother, Maxie, and doubts she’ll ever find a man to rival her beloved fictional heroes. When a friend sets her up with Hart—a funny, gentle photographer—Eve simultaneously discovers true love and loses control over her own fate.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Eve aims to achieve a choreographed, graceful existence, one modeled on the elegant world portrayed in Austen’s novels. But, in a series of both comic and painful mishaps, she learns just how clumsy and chaotic real life can be. Irrevocably changed by marriage and motherhood, Eve struggles to reconcile contrasting allegiances: those to herself versus those to her family. And, if carving out a niche for herself while balancing the demands of a new baby isn’t enough, Eve has the additional burden of living in the shadow of an imposing celebrity—her mother! Suddenly thrust into the limelight, Maxie has been transformed into a media darling just as her own daughter’s career begins to falter. Embarking on a journey to reclaim her lost sense of purpose, Eve is forced to face the toughest question of all: can she fulfill herself without severing the bonds to those she loves most?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e By turns witty and poignant, \u003ci\u003eRedeeming Eve\u003c\/i\u003e is an accomplished, engaging first novel. Anyone who has ever risked old dreams for a richer, more complex life—or ever longed to do so—will identify with its very contemporary heroine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Permanent Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171999596784,"sku":"9781504012331","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504012331_p0.jpg?v=1763714662","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504012331","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
