{"product_id":"swing-low","title":"Swing Low","description":"One morning Mel Toews put on his coat and hat and walked out of town, prepared to die. A loving husband and father, faithful member of the Mennonite church, and immensely popular schoolteacher, he was a pillar of his close-knit community. Yet after a lifetime of struggle, he could no longer face the darkness of manic depression. With razor-sharp precision, Swing Low tells his story in his own voice, taking us deep inside the experience of despair. But it is also a funny, winsome evocation of country life: growing up on farm, courting a wife, becoming a teacher, and rearing a happy, strong family in the midst of private torment. A humane, inspiring story of a remarkable man, father, and teacher.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0571278698\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0571278698.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Toews, Miriam\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43144507293757,"sku":"BVV.0571278698.VG","price":14.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0571278698-0.jpg?v=1777841684","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/swing-low","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
