{"product_id":"a-small-crowd-of-strangers-9781942436430","title":"A Small Crowd of Strangers","description":"How does a librarian from New Jersey end up in a convenience store on Vancouver Island in the middle of the night, playing Bible Scrabble with a Korean physicist and a drunk priest? She gets married to the wrong man for starters--she didn't know he was 'that kind of Catholic'--and ends up in St. Cloud, Minnesota. She gets a job in a New Age bookstore, wanders toward Buddhism without realizing it, and acquires a dog. Things get complicated after that. Pattianne Anthony is less a thinker than a dreamer, and she finds out the hard way that she doesn't want a husband, much less a baby, and that getting out of a marriage is a lot harder than getting into it, especially when the landscape of the west becomes the voice of reason. \u003ci\u003eA Small Crowd of Strangers, \u003c\/i\u003e Joanna Rose's second novel, is part love story, part slightly sideways spiritual journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forest Avenue Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942436430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Joanna Rose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671714099356,"sku":"9781942436430","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e6c2a03c-84d4-4e4b-9ee5-d773d9fe667b.jpg?v=1603926083","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-small-crowd-of-strangers-9781942436430","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
