{"product_id":"love-life-9780312366810","title":"Love Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eDan and Carmen have it all, it seems: They are young, rich, good-looking, satisfied in their work and love life, and are the parents of a beautiful three-year-old daughter. When Carmen is diagnosed with breast cancer, Dan is unable to cope with her illness and the changes this brings to their happy, yuppie family life. While the beautiful and optimistic Carmen submits to chemotherapy and eventually a mastectomy, hedonistic Dan tries to find solace with his buddies and in several flings before he finally stops running away and succeeds in supporting Carmen in her decision to end her life with dignity. \u003ci\u003eLove Life\u003c\/i\u003e is an account of a terminal illness that is devoid of glitz or fake sentiment. Distressing hospital situations and spot-on characterizations of doctors and therapists alternate with the many heart-wrenching moments through the course of Carmen's illness, as both she and Dan come to terms with what commitment really means. \u003ci\u003eLove Life\u003c\/i\u003e is completely unapologetic, extremely controversial, but ultimately uplifting and life-affirming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312366810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.80w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/07\/2007 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2007 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ray Kluun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635853062300,"sku":"9780312366810","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4fe71861-9cfc-4e6a-b00e-f239a58932f9.jpg?v=1603840703","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/love-life-9780312366810","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
