{"product_id":"book-6439","title":"Shelter Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Marisa de los Santos and Anne Tyler comes a moving debut about a young mother's year of heartbreak, loss, and forgiveness-and help that arrives from unexpected sources. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour months after her husband's death, Janie LaMarche remains undone by grief and anger. Her mourning is disrupted, however, by the unexpected arrival of a builder with a contract to add a porch onto her house. Stunned, Janie realizes the porch was meant to be a surprise from her husband-now his last gift to her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs she reluctantly allows construction to begin, Janie clings to the familiar outposts of her sorrow-mothering her two small children with fierce protectiveness, avoiding friends and family, and stewing in a rage she can't release. Yet Janie's self-imposed isolation is breached by a cast of unlikely interventionists: her chattering, ipecac-toting aunt; her bossy, overmanicured neighbor; her muffin-bearing cousin; and even Tug, the contractor with a private grief all his own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the porch takes shape, Janie discovers that the unknowable terrain of the future is best navigated with the help of others-even those we least expect to call on, much less learn to love. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49312838746416,"sku":"BD6439","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49312838811952,"sku":"ZE6439","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD [ZM]","offer_id":49312838844720,"sku":"ZM6439","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/6439-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775698150","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-6439","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
