{"product_id":"9780874221770","title":"River Earth : A Personal Map","description":"\u003cp\u003eRiver Earth is a personal exploration of family and community in and around the rivers of the Pacific Northwest. In these poignant essays, John Pierce probes the lifelong impact of a teenage boy's loss of a father, and how it led his own sons to a life on the river. He lifts the covers from the seeming tranquility of north Idaho's woods to reveal the personal impact of a friend's fear of racial violence. His mother's heroic lingering death forces him to confront who he is--while in the midst of a relationship that had lain dormant. Nighttime visits by Johnny Cash, two-foot long fish that don't exist, and a son who hears music in his head while wandering along Idaho's Jeru Creek all enliven and enrich this moving yet humorous book. Love, anger, wonder, a sense of place, of family, and of community, all emerge in this collection of evocative autobiographical excursions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Washington State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49340843852003,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780874221770-1.jpg?v=1788520516","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/ja\/products\/9780874221770","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
