{"product_id":"9780692680100","title":"Plum Bottom","description":"Laney Mahler comes of age during the 1940s and 1950s in Esther Escott's young adult fiction novel Plum Bottom. Escott takes readers back to a time dominated by issues such as racial prejudice as she follows Laney's journey from childhood to early adulthood. Each chapter stands alone as its own short story, centering on a different adventure or crisis-including telling lies, going on a first date, and finding and losing love. In one such chapter, Laney accepts a job at a resort where her first love works-only for him to dump her after helping her secure the job. Crestfallen, she decides to stay anyway and brave whatever comes her way. Readers get a look inside Laney's thinking as she confronts each dilemma in her own headstrong way-though she always learns from her parents and those around her. Her determination and personal growth become the core theme of this lighthearted novel, which is at once a nostalgic read for adults who grew up during a different era and a timeless coming-of-age tale for today's teens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eEsther Escott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eEscottbooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMay 27, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e200 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0692680101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780692680100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Escottbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50356931625265,"sku":"9780692680100","price":13.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780692680100__14328.jpg?v=1732374746","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780692680100","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
