{"product_id":"9781543449334","title":"Young John Holtz","description":"John Holtz was one of those uk-oh babies born to midforties parents. His mother considered an abortion, but his sister Nancy, a devout Catholic, nixed that. Nancy encouraged her parent to engage an au pair from Germany when John was four years old. That turned out to be a godsend. John graduated from high school at age twelve and prepared to enter college. Assisting his sister in working on a PhD from Harvard, their lives entwine with a Smoky Mountain family in North Carolina while doing research there. John’s brilliant mind causes him to be arrested at ten years old; he becomes a sawmill owner at twelve and almost loses his life when his adult actions help break up a drug ring. John Holtz never had the luxury of being a child.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163343569136,"sku":"9781543449334","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543449334_p0.jpg?v=1763747508","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543449334","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
