{"product_id":"9781609441012","title":"Grit and Roses: Stories","description":"The stories in Grit and Roses trace the unsteady arc of a life spent pursuing a dream. A musician's career, filled with the hard, grueling work of perfecting a craft, the mishaps and disappointments of touring, and the between-gig times of mundane jobs and restless wandering. \u003cbr\u003eThey also transcend the basic framework of a journeyman musician and explore more universal issues: desire, aimlessness, regret, hope, determination-the search for meaning in a stranger's smile and a cool drink, a backcountry sunset, or the neon beacon in the distant dark. \u003cbr\u003eEugene Babb's proses have a cadence, a tempo, that suits the telling of a musician's experiences. Grit and Roses marks the debut of promising new voice in contemporary fiction.","brand":"Third Place Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057299898608,"sku":"9781609441012","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609441012_p0.jpg?v=1763837381","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609441012","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
