{"product_id":"9781631492655","title":"Hold Still","description":"A \"wildly evocative\" (Elle.com) family portrait that explores the depths and limits of a mother’s love.When Maya Taylor, an English professor with a tendency to hide in her books, sends her daughter to Florida to look after a friend’s child, she does so with the best of intentions; it’s a chance for Ellie, twenty and spiraling, to rebuild her life. But in the sprawling hours of one humid afternoon, Ellie makes a mistake she cannot take back. In two separate timelines—before and after the catastrophe—Maya and Ellie must try to repair their fractured relationship and find a way to transcend not only their differences but also their more troubling similarities. \"[Melding] psychological insight, precise plotting and limpid prose\" (Huffington Post), Lynn Steger Strong traces the anatomy of a mistake and the weight of culpability. Hold Still marks a taut and propulsive debut that \"builds to a perfect crescendo, an ending that is both surprising and true\" (Marcy Dermansky, author of The Red Car).","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038344888560,"sku":"9781631492655","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631492655_p0.jpg?v=1763672193","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631492655","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
