{"product_id":"how-we-were-before-jonathan-kravetz-9781960018915","title":"How We Were Before","description":"When a savage home invasion results in the death of a town's most glamorous couple, the surviving friends and relatives of the victims must navigate the emotional aftermath: Exasperated high school Vice-Principal Zachary Rivers makes a final effort to reach a troubled student. Town librarian, Shelby Blythe-- the eldest daughter of the murder victims-- begins a correspondence with Billy Lawson, her parents' murderer. Evelyn Kavanaugh, a retired marketing manager and beloved family friend of the Blythes, embarks on a luxurious cruise as a prelude to suicide. Noam Russell, Billy Lawson's best friend, returns to Benfield to claim a share of his deceased father's estate. Samantha Blythe's maternal attempt to help an employee evokes a renewed desire to connect with her own family. The spaces between stories are haunted by echoes of the deceased couple's life-- from the ignorant bliss of first impressions and great expectations to the tumultuous troubles of middle age, and, finally, an undying hope for reconciliation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Kravetz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960018914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960018915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Running Wild Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.62d","brand":"Jonathan Kravetz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44716256624895,"sku":"9781960018915","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_466369d7-238a-4be7-9aa1-56bd3ccb4043.jpg?v=1705681587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-we-were-before-jonathan-kravetz-9781960018915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
