{"product_id":"boom-a-miami-beach-story-marjorie-klein-9781393431671","title":"Boom! A Miami Beach Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eZoe drives a cab in Miami Beach: Zippity Cab is her sixty-year-old pink Cadillac Sedan Deville that she's kept in tiptop shape until the day that it's battered by Tootsie, the mother of a Miami Beach commissioner, Hal, who is having career problems of his own. The vehicular conflict leads to a resolution of sorts when Hal hires Zoe as a driver for his father, Max, a once-powerful developer whose driver's license has been revoked. Max discovers that his most famous hotel, the legendary Louis Quinze, will be demolished and replaced by a glitzy new condo, and that his son Hal had a role in this. Max's decision to salvage his legacy exposes the mid-life delusions of Zoe and Hal. Unhappily on the cusp of fifty, Zoe ditches her once-beloved but now-mangled Caddy for a flashy new BMW. Fifty-something Hal, desperate to regain his place in a political and social climate that has left him behind, sells his soul to a developer and chases youth in the form of Staci, a comely Cuban who fears it's too late to achieve her own dream of Maxim fame. Each is at a turning point in life, trying to deal with change through the often-mindless pursuit of irrational desires, driven to recoup some part of their lives that may be gone forever-and may never have existed at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjorie Klein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1393431674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781393431671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Draft2digital\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Marjorie Klein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169976283391,"sku":"9781393431671","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be5890c7-0172-4844-b14a-6b64c887d350.jpg?v=1689656085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boom-a-miami-beach-story-marjorie-klein-9781393431671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
