{"product_id":"9781936695171","title":"Raw Talent","description":"Raw Talent is the story of a young Hispanic man who becomes a world class golfer and the struggles he must overcome just to demonstrate that gift. It is also a tale of people, ordinary, working Mexican-Americans, most of them good and a few... not so much.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarlos Alvarez might have been a statistic on the side of failure even with his God-given inner-strength and a friend like Pete Sanchez. For one thing, the nurturing of genius is no more complex than that of the highly-gifted athlete. It is far easier to develop either when those attributes are recognized early on, before the raw-talent has been diluted. While thirteen is a normal age for beginning golfers, Carlos had other things going on; one of them the specter of an alcoholic father. Yet Pete had recognized, in Carlos, the sparkle of pure joy and endless determination from the first day they met.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Comfort Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141514019056,"sku":"9781936695171","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936695171_p0.jpg?v=1763658851","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936695171","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
