{"product_id":"tears-in-the-sand-dina-andrews-9781426970061","title":"Tears in the Sand","description":"During the terror of World War II, German forces occupy the island of Jersey, only twelve miles off the coast of Normandy, France. The residents despise their German overlords and particularly the forced labour camp located on the small island. As a young boy, Richard Le Miere watches the camp prisoners shuffle past him every day on their way home from school, and he soon befriends one of the Polish POWs, a boy named Alex. The two speak through the camp fence and share their troubles, forging a bond made only possible by the war. Richard discovers Alex's father has died, and he gives Alex a teddy bear to help him cope, but it's not enough. Alex's body has been weakened from hard labour, diphtheria, and lack of food; he will not survive this ordeal unless Richard steps in and does something unthinkable: help Alex escape. Will his daring plan work or will he too end up a prisoner of the Germans? Filled with vivid historical detail, \u003ci\u003eTears in the Sand\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving portrait of compassion, friendship, and hope in the face of the tragedy of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dina Andrews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426970064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426970061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.30w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlueInk Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/04\/2011","brand":"Dina Andrews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419490533631,"sku":"9781426970061","price":23.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52aab502-2a1d-4e0e-8649-c10c56730336.jpg?v=1761511855","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tears-in-the-sand-dina-andrews-9781426970061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
