{"product_id":"9781635343250","title":"SWEET SURVIVAL","description":"\u003cp\u003eHumor and horror punctuate the humdrum demands of a life-threatening chronic illness. In Sweet Survival, narrative and lyric poems and a scattering of prose poems exhibit the whimsy and grit a long-term incurable condition entails. Pamela Smith is in her fifth decade as an insulin-dependent diabetic. This collection shows how she has come to thrive. Resilience, even after setbacks, comes with the three C’s she offers in “Prescription”: cooperation, combat, and contemplation. These poems celebrate life, art, natural beauty, ministry, poetry, pets, humanity, and God. Sweet Survival is a short testament to her gladness for the color and valor of the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finishing Line Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063932043504,"sku":"9781635343250","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781635343250_p0.jpg?v=1763682874","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781635343250","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
