{"product_id":"crazy-love-9781416566632","title":"Crazy Love","description":"David Martin has proved to be an unusually versatile writer, both of acclaimed thrillers like \u003ci\u003eLie to Me\u003c\/i\u003e and of love stories like \u003ci\u003eThe Crying Heart Tattoo.\u003c\/i\u003e Now, in \u003ci\u003eCrazy Love, \u003c\/i\u003e Martin has created remarkable characters and his richest story yet: a chronicle of passion and heartbreak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoseph Long, known locally as Bear, is a farmer ridiculed by neighbors for his strangeness. Lonely nearly to the point of madness and so desperate for human touch, he leans against the hands of the barber giving him a haircut. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKatherine Renault is a successful career woman, wondering why, if she has the perfect job and the perfect fianc , does she feel so hollow inside -- even before the illness, the disfiguring surgery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey should have nothing in common -- though he has a magical touch with animals, he considers them property, while she can't tolerate their mistreatment. She's a sophisticated city dweller who can't abide violence, and he's never traveled beyond the local town and has blood on his hands. But love is crazy, and soon they are rescuing the injured of the world just as they rescue each other. Enduring violence and loss, they live in a domestic bliss wide and deep enough to dilute most of life's dramas, until fate tests them again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFunny, erotic, emotionally powerful, yet surprisingly unsentimental about our relationships with each other and with animals in our care, \u003ci\u003eCrazy Love\u003c\/i\u003e will heal broken hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416566632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"David Lozell Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39637910847669,"sku":"9781416566632","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5c70b169-70f0-4a41-aa5d-41f8fa4f7aef.jpg?v=1617679299","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/crazy-love-9781416566632","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
