{"product_id":"stations-west-9780807136171","title":"Stations West","description":"\u003cp\u003eOklahoma is a forgotten territory of Indians, outlaws, and immigrants when its first Jewish settler, Boggy Haurowitz, arrives in 1859. Full of expectations, he finds the untamed region a formidable foe, its landscape rugged, its resources strained. \u003cbr\u003eIn Stations West, four generations of Haurowitzes, intertwined with a family of Swedish immigrants, struggle against the Territory's insatiable appetite. The challenges of creating a home amid betrayals, nature's vagaries, and burgeoning statehood prove too great. Each generation in turn succumbs to the overwhelming lure of the transcontinental railroad, and each returns home to find the landscape of their youth, like themselves, changed beyond recognition, their family utterly transformed. \u003cbr\u003eDramatic and lyrical, Allison Amend's first novel, steeped in the history and lore of the Oklahoma Territory, tells an unforgettable multigenerational -- and very American -- story of Jewish pioneers, their adopted family, and the challenges they face. Amid the founding of the West, Stations West's generations struggle to forge and maintain their identities as Jews, as immigrants, and as Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807136171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.12w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Oklahoma Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sami Rohr Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/11\/2010 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Allison Amend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644069539996,"sku":"9780807136171","price":24.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7ba50eb5-467d-4c44-865f-9d8b427f9140.jpg?v=1603857845","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/stations-west-9780807136171","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
