{"product_id":"9781720741978","title":"A Savage Lost","description":"Getting bludgeoned to death is not as much fun as it sounds. The thought occurred to me as my own brutal death unfolded one night under a street lamp. Most people come to that conclusion without taking things that far, but I never was that kind of person. A pair of tennis shoes and some boots shuffled on the pavement for leverage. Rocks ripped into my scalp. A white rope of snot hung from my lip. Life never flashed before my eyes, only shame as I lost my bowels. The story doesn't end in the streets of Peru, and I didn't die that night. It was just another day in the life of Riley Michael Chapman. I started using needles and overdosed on heroin when I was only seventeen. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans could not keep me from smoking crack, and the barrel of a gun against my head in the ghettos of Baton Rouge could not keep me from thinking about another hit. Before I was twenty years old I was homeless in San Francisco, and it only got worse after that. My parents paid a man to find my body in the morgues of Lima while I was kidnapped in Peru. I watched the woman I loved sell herself to Mexican drug dealers in Denver and spent three months fighting for my life in a Portland hospital while a bacterial infection devoured my spine. This is the story of how I got out alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRiley Chapman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 03, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e398 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\u003e1720741972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781720741978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057598185777,"sku":"9781720741978","price":25.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781720741978.jpg?v=1693726862","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781720741978","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
