{"product_id":"9781932738995","title":"My Sweety - The Heartache of Loving a Deer","description":"She had always had a special connection with the animals that entered her life - dogs, cats, marmots, wildlife in general, but especially Colorado's beautiful mule deer. It was a mutual camaraderie, perhaps stemming from her childhood where nurturing was not the norm and love and security were mostly fleeting treasures.\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1994, Karen Hurd met \"Sweety,\" a soon-to-be orphaned, baby buck, and their lives - complete with laughter, tears, joy, fear, lessons taught, and lessons learned - would meld for almost eleven years into a sweet saga of unconditional love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, My Sweety is much more than a tale about one of Lake City's renowned Riverside Bucks and the woman he befriended. It is a story that also deals with day-to-day social and environmental issues, conflicts that result when well-intentioned laws clash with well-intentioned humanity, and the underlying compromises that continuously affect the lives of each and every one of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe innocence, emotional honesty, and down-to-earth feelings expressed in My Sweety cannot help but pull at the heartstrings of its readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Reflections Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033279643888,"sku":"9781932738995","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932738995_p0.jpg?v=1763640031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932738995","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
