{"product_id":"9781438976266","title":"Purification: Cleansing of a Contaminated Soul","description":"The words within this book do not discriminate. There have been many experiences that have brought me to the point of being able to transcribe feelings onto paper, in a subtle but passionate way. In a world seen through the eyes of beauty and pain, these words will transcend the traditional world of poetry. The first time I picked up a pen I was \"high\" and was at a loss in life. I felt distant from family and had lost friends along the way. I used drugs and alcohol as a way to overcome pain and adapt to life. I \"socially\" used drugs\/alcohol but I know it was all to secrete my emotions. The day I looked up and saw what I had written on paper was the day that set me free, a day that allowed me to speak. That was twenty years ago. Twenty years of discovering life, and learning from each new experience. My thoughts, expressions and words collected on paper: words that help me convey my feelings. I discovered a new way to overcome pain and express myself. I continue to strive and reach new goals for the future.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48535693230321,"sku":"9781438976266","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781438976266_p0.jpg?v=1786369074","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781438976266","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
