Evoking these lives--and the country that shaped and nourished them--with artistry, honesty, and compassion, Rick Bragg brings home the love and suffering that lie at the heart of every family. The result is unforgettable.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":52165518557344,"sku":"9780679774020-used-good","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/0115\/1392\/files\/512gvtUOmBL_a5fe38b9-2281-4ac1-9691-a939a52f2eed.jpg?v=1736263067","url":"https:\/\/shop.mtwyouth.org\/products\/all-over-but-the-shoutin-9780679774021","provider":"More Than Words ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
