{"product_id":"the-widow-and-the-bear-tana-sommer-belin-9780615774978","title":"The Widow and the Bear","description":"Lara, a 57-year-old artist in Southern California, is stunned by the sudden death of her husband. Launched unwillingly on that most difficult of journeys -- the first year of widowhood -- Lara faces loneliness, anxiety, and the inevitability of change. Caring for aging parents, and watching a beloved daughter move out into the world, Lara needs a companion in her own struggle, and finds one in a most unlikely place. Henri is a stuffed bear, a gift from Lara's daughter. He has a heart of gold, a gourmet's taste for honey, and a wisdom that belies his size. He is a listener, a comforter, and a reminder to Lara to appreciate her own life every day. This is the story of that year's journey, and Lara's discoveries about resilience and the enduring power of love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tana Sommer-Belin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615774970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615774978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sommer House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Tana Sommer-Belin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441161253119,"sku":"9780615774978","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd1fc92e-18bc-4713-948b-2bce28e691c7.jpg?v=1777189097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-widow-and-the-bear-tana-sommer-belin-9780615774978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
