{"product_id":"home-is-only-a-state-elias-gutierrez-9798842908516","title":"Home Is Only A State of Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eThey say home is where the heart is, but what if your heart is broken? What if the walls are bare, the windows shattered, and everyone's gone?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do I write a description for a book telling the story of my life, make it enticing to read? How do I market my struggles, my pain, my thoughts, emotions, experiences? It's not about money. It's about getting my word out, about giving a voice to the unspeakable, giving a voice to those who never had a chance to explain their side of the story. These poems are about love, loss, unity, community, hope, and the different realities that others and myself live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is about home: the foundation of who we are. A house is not a home; however, it \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e often people, experiences, comfort, and safety. Some don't have a home, whether it be physical or metaphoric, some don't have either; they shouldn't be forgotten. I lost my home. I never didn't have a roof over my head which I'm thankful for, but these walls didn't offer comfort. Yes, they shielded me from the elements, but it was never the same; what I lost, I felt I could never get back.\u003c\/p\u003eI want to thank you for reading my book, and if you don't, I appreciate you taking the time to even read \u003ci\u003ethis\u003c\/i\u003e; I know how precious time is. Everything I have, all that I am, has been put into this book. These poems are the literary embodiment of my soul, my most vulnerable self, and I happily share them with you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elias Gutierrez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8842908517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798842908516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Elias Gutierrez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080601956607,"sku":"9798842908516","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16641d83-397a-41bf-a6ae-975f6ebdb0ba.jpg?v=1685487729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/home-is-only-a-state-elias-gutierrez-9798842908516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
