{"product_id":"eleven-days-in-august-amatore-mille-9781412086486","title":"Eleven Days in August: A Chronicle of Summers","description":"A funny, poignant memoir of the author's annual eleven day transition from Wall Street to his family's Italian sausage business at the Wisconsin State Fair. A return to family, hometown...and self. Great Americana! \u003cp\u003e Welcome to the August lives of Amatore Mille and his family. The year is 2001...and 1957...and 1973 - actually, every year, since 1932 - when the Milles began an August summer tradition of selling Italian sausage sandwiches at The Wisconsin State Fair. You are about to enter a world where Italian immigrant grandparents leave their indelible mark on three subsequent generations, where a father, in his inimitable way, focuses on the family business...and his family...for eleven days of each summer, and where children grow up with sawdust underfoot and State Fair attractions all around. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In episodes that move between present and past, the author takes you on a tour of family escapades that, in turn, are laugh-out-loud funny...and touching...where grandma, with no experience, is forced to drive expensive cars, grandpa provides light-hearted amusement (but little work), and the author, through misadventures and near-tragedy, finally learns what the family business is really all about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amatore Mille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412086485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412086486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amatore Mille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334574756095,"sku":"9781412086486","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82ad15fe-80f2-4c84-a269-49e0509690c6.jpg?v=1731467200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eleven-days-in-august-amatore-mille-9781412086486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
