{"product_id":"the-uses-of-adversity","title":"The Uses of Adversity","description":"This is the story of my mother, who, in 1939, discovered her husband was suffering from tertiary syphilis - an affliction which could be cured then only by long years of treatment. The horror with which syphilis was surrounded was similar to that provoked by HIV\/AIDS in the 1980s. My mother was childless at this time. Instead of being destroyed by this news, she resolved to have children anyway with a man she would choose. Her decision resulted in the birth of twins - my brother, who died ten years ago, and myself. This book is about the courage of a determined woman, and the consequences, for her and her children, of her will to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Seabrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500352790\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":53321469985066,"sku":"9781500352790","price":24.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/4553\/1946\/files\/img_9b0a8215-5f11-4ab1-9cf8-00fa8b83e48f.jpg?v=1793052178","url":"https:\/\/delvanta.shop\/products\/the-uses-of-adversity","provider":"Whitmore Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
