{"product_id":"9781665785341","title":"The Original Human Beings: Sometimes, in the Darkest Moments, We Can See the Brightest Lights!","description":"The world treated her as collateral damage. She answered with music-a premonition of rediscovering humanity. In a world growing numb to cruelty, The Original Human Beings tells the inspirational story of a girl named Never-a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She's fighting simply to stay alive. She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero-but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror. It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after-only truth. She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dump's foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch. She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her. And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight-until she made him believe in something more dangerous. It is a high-concept saga infused with magical realism. It echoes with the mythic power of Le Morte d'Arthur-as timeless a tale as we may see in our generation. This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster.","brand":"Archway Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43085186302013,"sku":"9781665785341","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781665785341_p0.jpg?v=1775257549","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781665785341","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
