{"product_id":"9781597131650","title":"Maine Passages","description":"Maine Passages is a collection of stories about a boy growing up under the influence of his Maine environment. In a sense it is a period piece as the stories reveal middle class society of the 1940s to the early 1960s. It also resembles a Maine travelogue because the stories were located in named towns and were traveled on well-known routes. Trials and accomplishments are illustrated in the framework of a child living and learning through his maturation into a person prepared for a productive adult life. \u003cp\u003eCharacters in these stories are real people, and, with a few exceptions, I have used the first names of my peers who are an integral part of my stories. In fact friends from those years who read the stories will likely recognize themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose River Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064802328816,"sku":"9781597131650","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597131650_p0.jpg?v=1763812639","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597131650","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
