{"product_id":"9781933880952","title":"Italian Blood : A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eA memoir dealing with the aftermath of abuse.    \"I've heard that some volcanic eruptions are soft with oozing streams of lava dancing down the side of the volcano like a Las Vegas chorus line. My father's eruptions were quick, like bricks being thrown through a window.\" Denise Tolan's memoir-in-essay traces the legacy of violence in an Italian American family, showing how abuse reverberates both in the body and mind of a family. The book's first part, \"Blood is Not Water,\" lays out how the origins of violence can infect the roots of a family tree. The second part, \"Good Blood Doesn't Lie,\" shows what grows from those roots. Italian Blood is a raw, heartbreaking series of essays where everything is connected through literal and metaphorical blood. These essays offer a connection to anyone who suffered childhood shame, violence, or fear and provide reassurance that they are not alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45464581832925,"sku":"9781933880952","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781933880952.jpg?v=1720083595","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781933880952","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
