{"product_id":"9781981965670","title":"A Sign of Distress","description":"A Sign of Distress takes a decidedly sharp turn from the previous lively, heart-warming autobiographical boyhood tales told by the masterful storyteller John E. Jordan, Jr. Times have changed, and rather than light-hearted humor, it is satire that is called for. Here we find ourselves in current-day Jackson, Mississippi (read: pretty much Anywhere, USA), in today's current tumultuous social climate. Husband and wife Burl and Beulah Turner, without fully realizing, slowly each work their way through an enlightening transformation - from past to progress, from disdain to love. Surrounded by bigotry and ever-present greed - yet with glimpses into an alternative, loving way of living in this world amongst their fellow humans - the couple slowly metamorphose through lessons inadvertently learned from those around them: family, relatives, friends, so-called friends, employers, employees, co-workers, teachers, and even religious leaders. A Sign of Distress offers a lens through which the reader has an opportunity to do some personal soul-searching and to examine the world we live in and how to morally, or not, move daily through it. It is a story of conquering hate and selfishness and embracing love and kindness. It is a tale of overcoming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJohn Jordan\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\u003eDec 22, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e210 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\u003e198196567X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781981965670\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46702558675249,"sku":"9781981965670","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781981965670.jpg?v=1690617968","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781981965670","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
