{"product_id":"new-years-baby-gail-heald-taylor-9781927730171","title":"New Year's Baby: A Memoir of Survival","description":"This is a deeply personal story of self reliance and resilience. The author survived a brutal childhood shaped by an abusive parent, only to fall into the trap of an abusive marriage with a controlling older man. Her refusal to accept this, over time, resulted in divorce: she was abandoned with three young children, and not a cent to her name. The author dug in and rebuilt her life as a single parent in a time when single parents were anomalies. She earned multiple degrees, published in widely recognized literacy textbooks, and paved the way for women to have positions of power in education. Gail shares her story with clarity, wit, and love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis memoir is unique: you will fall in love with the characters, as if it's fiction, and forget that they are not actually characters, but real life people, and these are real life memories. Gail paints her characters with vivid strokes- the villains are just as well formed as the heroes, and the pay off-a well-earned love story-emerges alongside deeply felt memories of a life surrounded in beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Heald-Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1927730171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781927730171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchorless Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.57d","brand":"Gail Heald-Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437603467519,"sku":"9781927730171","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1eea6350-b764-4bd9-8899-bbda8dec73a7.jpg?v=1777162857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-years-baby-gail-heald-taylor-9781927730171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
