{"product_id":"sketches-from-life-gillian-skeen-mckee-9781796024043","title":"Sketches from Life: Stories","description":"In Sketches from Life, author Gillian Skeen-McKee has presented an eclectic group of stories, both short and long, set almost entirely in southern Africa or North America. Sometimes bittersweet in nature, they veer toward the literary, often focusing on the struggles of women while painting vivid portraits of far-off lands. Imitating life, whether strange, perilous, tragic, or amusing, they tell of love and infidelity, courage and cowardice, disappointment and joy. \"Under the Baobab Tree\" offers a child's view of life in a remote mining town. In \"The Art Dealer,\" a disconcerted mother watches the deterioration of her daughter's marriage. \"The Ship\" describes a young surgeon's dilemma when faced with a misdiagnosis by another doctor. \"Good Intentions\" depicts a campus scene of South African students trying to strike a blow against apartheid while \"Immorality\" grapples with the tensions and difficulties of interracial romance. Accompanied by relevant images, there is meaning to be found in every word for everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gillian Skeen-McKee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 179602404X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781796024043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlueInk Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/13\/2020","brand":"Gillian Skeen-McKee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800571293951,"sku":"9781796024043","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sketches-from-life-gillian-skeen-mckee-9781796024043","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
