By connecting life’s passages with a larger vision of humanity – past, present and future – Gerry shows us a way to celebrate our families and ourselves.”                  --Susan O’Halloran, Director, RaceBridges, Chicago Illinois\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkhurst Brothers Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033693700336,"sku":"9781935166221","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935166221_p0.jpg?v=1763655289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935166221","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
