{"product_id":"9781597140652","title":"Ticket to Exile","description":"\u003cp\u003eCultural Writing. Memoir. African American Studies. At age nineteen, A. D. Miller sat in a jail cell. His crime? He passed a white girl a note that read, \"I would like to get to know you better.\" For this he was accused of attempted rape. TICKET TO EXILE recounts Miller's coming-of-age in Depression-era Orangeburg, South Carolina. A closet rebel who successfully evades the worst strictures of a racially segregated small town, Miller reconstructs the sights, sounds, and social complexities of the pre-civil rights South. By the time he is forced into exile, we realize that this fate was inevitable for a young man too intelligent and aware of the limitations of his society to remain there without disastrous consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heyday Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036919054576,"sku":"9781597140652","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597140652_p0.jpg?v=1763808874","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597140652","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
