{"product_id":"kandi-9781950381135","title":"Kandi","description":"\u003cp\u003eKandi's story began in 1943, when, at age 7, her family made a life-changing move from their small southern town, Granville, Georgia, to a large industrial city, Columbus, Ohio. Excitement, bordered that of mixed emotions by her parents, James and Fannie Kane, her fourteen-year old sister, Elsie, nine-year old brother, Rickey, and three-year old brother, Ray-Jay.\u003cbr\u003e The long train ride was worth it, Kandi's parents had reasoned. It was time to leave that insufferable system of segregation for a new life, with new opportunities for them and their children.\u003cbr\u003e Kandi was gifted in the arts, and did well in school, despite a speech impediment that affected her personally and socially. You will marvel at how her run-in with a school-yard bully proved to be a building block that helped to reshape her personality.\u003cbr\u003e Flashback stories of her mother's growing-up days revealed an inner strength Kandi leaned on after learning of the mysterious disappearance of her mother's brother years before, and the heart-wrenching experience of one of her close friends that left a deep wound that would set her back--temporarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Piscataqua Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950381135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Royaline Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672987889820,"sku":"9781950381135","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2c2e2912-02b1-44bb-9f34-3824bf84ffb6.jpg?v=1603928798","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kandi-9781950381135","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
