{"product_id":"9781514439036","title":"Such Is Life: A Memoir by Jill Graves-Thomas","description":"In the early 1950s, Jill Graves—a pretty English woman just graduated from the Royal Wanstead School in Devon—went against her mother’s advice to marry a rich man. She embarked instead on a career in nursing, emulating her heroine, Florence Nightingale. She turned down suitors and dedicated herself to her profession, until destiny came calling in the form of a handsome American. Graves moved from a sheltered childhood on Malta to English boarding schools to the oilfields in the California desert. Written with English dry wit and tremendous heart, the memories in this book open a window into growing up and growing old without sacrificing dignity or good cheer.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132387279088,"sku":"9781514439036","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781514439036_p0.jpg?v=1763725844","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781514439036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
