{"product_id":"book-cp6h","title":"Homemade Love","description":"Critics have compared her work to that of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, but J. California Cooper has a warm, witty style that's definitely her own. Each of her short stories is a gem of downhome wisdom, polished with a bit of gossip, some heartbreak, and lots of humor. In \"Funny Valentines\" a \"simple\" woman draws one heart on Valentine's Day and divides it among the people she loves, until all but one of them lies in the cemetery. \"Living\" portrays a man in midlife crisis who leaves his loving wife and pleasant country home for a taste of high city living and returns with a new perspective on life. \"Spooks\" is the tongue-in-cheek tale of a man who masquerades as a ghost in order to outsmart an unscrupulous suitor and win the heart of a vulnerable widow. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and always touching, J. California Cooper's characters enlighten us and enrich us as they find love in unlikely places. The warm narrations give readers a sense of chatting with nosy but well-meaning neighbors over the back fence.","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49392934781232,"sku":"BDcp6h","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49392934814000,"sku":"ZEcp6h","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/254455-cp6h-Square.jpg?v=1735336683","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cp6h","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
