{"product_id":"99-jobs-joe-cottonwood-9780615909448","title":"99 Jobs: Blood, Sweat, and Houses","description":"Joe repairs homes. With each job, he enters somebody's private world. Revealing a life. Or changing it. Here's blue collar writing, finely crafted, about good hard work-and some bad work, too. Meet proud carpenters and working-class hippies. Meet clients who flirt, cheat, seduce, fight-and clients who warm your heart. Learn the taste of sewage, the jolt of a live wire. Drive to the emergency clinic with a wooden stake through your hand. Feel the satisfaction of work that is honest, simple, strong-sometimes perfect. \"A house is alive. It breathes. It expands and contracts. It ages. Sometimes it falls sick, and then I'm a doctor of houses. I probe intimate cavities. I study the bones, the nerves, the flesh of an old house where generations of remodels have built upon themselves. The structure tells a story: tragedy, comedy, or heartwarming family drama as day-to-day life slowly, inexorably leaves an imprint over the attic, on the walls, under the sink-or in the crawlspace.\" -From 99 Jobs Ninety-nine stories that are gritty, funny, wise. And always deeply humane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Cottonwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615909442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615909448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clear Heart Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Indie Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 15","brand":"Joe Cottonwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119993483519,"sku":"9780615909448","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cdb446c-0c2d-42a4-ab98-20664bd2fad6.jpg?v=1687411994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/99-jobs-joe-cottonwood-9780615909448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
