{"product_id":"snippets-from-the-trenches-freda-wagman-9781419657139","title":"Snippets from the Trenches: a mother's AIDS memoir","description":"The really extraordinary thing about this book is that it tells the story of how one mother embarked on her feverish course of involvement in the AIDS community, in large part to help herself come to terms with the possibility of her son's death. But all that work really doesn't prepare her. She becomes incredibly intimate with a series of strangers, yet she and her son have more and more trouble talking about HIS illness, which is the reason she is doing all this in the first place. She becomes indispensable at the bedsides of countless other people, but when Gary is dying, she still feels helpless, disconnected and as if she'd never set foot in an AIDS hospital room. What is moving about this book is the fact that all this preparation doesn't prepare, because NOTHING can prepare her.\" Susan Choi, Pulitzer Prize finalist, American Woman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Freda Wagman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419657135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419657139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Second Place","brand":"Freda Wagman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449570013439,"sku":"9781419657139","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0256f580-be0d-421a-8146-4378aa95af64.jpg?v=1777263972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snippets-from-the-trenches-freda-wagman-9781419657139","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
