{"product_id":"book-b9if","title":"Devotion","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her midforties and settled into the responsibilities and routines of adulthood, Dani Shapiro found herself with more questions than answers. Was this all life was-a hodgepodge of errands, dinner dates, e-mails, meetings, to-do lists? What did it all mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving grown up in a deeply religious and traditional family, Shapiro had no personal sense of faith, despite repeated attempts to create a connection to something greater. Feeling as if she was plunging headlong into what Carl Jung termed \"the afternoon of life,\" she wrestled with self-doubt and a searing disquietude that would awaken her in the middle of the night. Set adrift by loss-her father's early death; the life-threatening illness of her infant son; her troubled relationship with her mother-she had become edgy and uncertain. At the heart of this anxiety, she realized, was a challenge: What did she believe? Spurred on by the big questions her young son began to raise, Shapiro embarked upon a surprisingly joyful quest to find meaning in a constantly changing world. The result is \u003cem\u003eDevotion\u003c\/em\u003e: a literary excavation to the core of a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this spiritual detective story, Shapiro explores the varieties of experience she has pursued-from the rituals of her black hat Orthodox Jewish relatives to yoga \u003cem\u003eshalas\u003c\/em\u003e and meditation retreats. A reckoning of the choices she has made and the knowledge she has gained, \u003cem\u003eDevotion\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a woman whose search for meaning ultimately leads her home. Her journey is at once poignant and funny, intensely personal-and completely universal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49345558085936,"sku":"BDb9if","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49345558315312,"sku":"ZEb9if","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/b9if-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776052502","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-b9if","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
