{"product_id":"9781531227920","title":"Jewel: A Chapter in Her Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, originally published in 1903, became a  best-seller.  It describes in conversation and prose the events in an  8 year old girl's life when she finds herself  at  her widowed  grandfather's home where her presence is welcomed neither by other  resident relatives nor by the staff.  She has been raised as a  Christian Scientist by her absent parents and how she solves various  problems for herself and others contributes to an easy and delightful  read.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComing from an illustrious, artistic family  CLB, whose father was  a leading composer\/song writer in the Civil War  era composed \"The Battle Cry of  Freedom\" and \"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp\"  also had a brother, Frederick W. Root,  a poet \/composer of note, who  encouraged her to write her stories. There were some thirty novels,  all of which were basically romantic novels of those whose attitudes  were affected some more and some less specifically by her enthusiastic  acceptance of the newly popular denomination, Christian Science.  Living mainly in Chicago after a very short marriage she spent summers  on Bailey Island off the coast of Portland, Maine and many plots lead  invitingly to that idyllic spot and reflect the perspectives and dialects of its yearround residents.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yurita Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132743434480,"sku":"9781531227920","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781531227920_p0.jpg?v=1763741398","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781531227920","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
