{"product_id":"the-uses-of-adversity-jeremy-seabrook-9781500352790","title":"The Uses of Adversity","description":"This is the story of my mother, who, in 1939, discovered her husband was suffering from tertiary syphilis - an affliction which could be cured then only by long years of treatment. The horror with which syphilis was surrounded was similar to that provoked by HIV\/AIDS in the 1980s. My mother was childless at this time. Instead of being destroyed by this news, she resolved to have children anyway with a man she would choose. Her decision resulted in the birth of twins - my brother, who died ten years ago, and myself. This book is about the courage of a determined woman, and the consequences, for her and her children, of her will to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Seabrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500352799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500352790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.42d","brand":"Jeremy Seabrook","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935138152703,"sku":"9781500352790","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b3e2edba-b0ad-4a54-a054-c4bd3e8b21fd.jpg?v=1681418074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-uses-of-adversity-jeremy-seabrook-9781500352790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
