{"product_id":"a-year-of-anguish-karen-melander-magoon-9781735589206","title":"A Year of Anguish: A Time For Miracles","description":"The year 2020 brought us political conflict even prior to pandemic, but it is Covid-19 which has most marked this year. My book describes in poetry my own journey from January to the present, which is still only mid-year. This has been for me a year of isolation from my loved ones, a year of learning more about nature and its wildlife, particularly the amazing birds of San Francisco, of long walks and meditation, a search into my inner world and a deeper understanding of compassion and the pain of others. This has been a year to view injustices and inequities and seek solutions; to view our government and its perilous stance on human rights, immigration and individual liberties. My book of poetry shows a chronological journey I have taken towards finding truth in our daily lives as we confront a global pandemic, police brutality, continuing global inequities, climate chaos, hurricanes and wildfires, and the death of some of our heroes in the battle for racial justice. It continues to be a year in which historical errors and injustices underlying our social structures are laid bare, a year in which we are forced to look at ourselves and our nation with honesty and find in each other a path forward to grace and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Melander-Magoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735589209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735589206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Melander-Magoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Karen Melander-Magoon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873782116607,"sku":"9781735589206","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-year-of-anguish-karen-melander-magoon-9781735589206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
