{"product_id":"9781627873512","title":"Looking for Love in Strange Places: A Memoir for My Stepdaughters","description":"Back in 1968 Diana Page was going to graduate from the University of Michigan without much hope for marriage or a career. She didn't have a boyfriend, so a prospective husband was unlikely to materialize before the semester ended, and a bachelor's in political science wasn't going to make her easily employable. The solution? Join the Peace Corps where she could help change the world . . . and possibly meet a guy who shared her values.\u003cp\u003eThus began Diana's adventures. Her travels as a journalist and diplomat took her down the dangerous roads of Latin American history from the 1960s into the twenty-first century. With excerpts from diaries, letters, and news articles, she weaves together a narrative of war and peace, presidents and peasants, but mostly of ordinary people who teach her about life. She also runs into a few extraordinary people along the way: Fidel Castro, Isabel Peron, Pele, Jorge Luis Borges, and Hilary Clinton among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking for Love in Strange Places: A Memoir for My Stepdaughters is a hopeful, humorous account of what happens when you seize the day -- without too many expectations for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wheatmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042271576304,"sku":"9781627873512","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781627873512_p0.jpg?v=1763868113","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781627873512","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
