{"product_id":"book-bein","title":"Model Home","description":"Warren Ziller moved his family to California in search of a charmed life, and to all appearances, he found it: a gated community not far from the beach, amid the affluent splendor of Southern California in the 1980s. But his American dream has been rudely interrupted. Despite their affection for one another—the \"slow, jokey, unrehearsed vaudeville\" they share at home—Warren; his wife, Camille; and their three children have veered into separate lives, as distant as satellites. Worst of all, Warren has squandered the family's money on a failing real estate venture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Warren desperately tries to conceal his mistake, his family begins to sow deceptions of their own. Camille attributes Warren's erratic behavior to an affair and plots her secret revenge; seventeen-year-old Dustin falls for his girlfriend's troubled younger sister; teen misanthrope Lyle begins sleeping with a security guard who works at the gatehouse; and eleven-year-old Jonas becomes strangely obsessed with a kidnapped girl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen tragedy strikes, the Zillers are forced to move into one of the houses in Warren's abandoned development in the middle of the desert. Marooned in a less-than-model home, each must reckon with what's led them there and who's to blame—and whether they can summon the forgiveness needed to hold the family together. Subtly ambitious, brimming with the humor and unpredictability of life, \u003ci\u003eModel Home\u003c\/i\u003e delivers penetrating insights into the American family and into the imperfect ways we try to connect, from a writer \"uncannily in tune with the heartbreak and absurdity of domestic life\" (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49392124363056,"sku":"BDbein","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49392124395824,"sku":"ZEbein","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49392124428592,"sku":"ZMbein","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49392124461360,"sku":"40bein","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/bein-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770868915","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bein","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
