The war is over, and Eric Smythe's party was in full swing. All his clever Greenwich Village friends were there. So too was his sister Sara, an independent, outspoken young woman, starting to make her way in the big city. And then in walked Jack Malone, a U.S. Army journalist just back from a defeated Germany, a man whose world view was vastly different than that of Eric and his friends. This chance meeting between Sara and Jack and the choices they both made in the wake of it would eventually have profound consequences, both for themselves and for those closest to them for decades afterwards. Set amidst the dynamic optimism of postwar New York and the subsequent nightmare of the McCarthy era, \u003ci\u003eThe Pursuit of Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e is a great, tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices and the random workings of destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439199121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2010 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Douglas Kennedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650960486556,"sku":"9781439199121","price":28.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_50c56eaf-e784-48a6-bbbe-99482f235727.jpg?v=1603876492","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-pursuit-of-happiness-9781439199121","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
