{"product_id":"the-inadvertent-cafe","title":"The Inadvertent Cafe","description":"This book will make you laugh. It'll make you cry, and it'll make you squirm. Read it. The lessons it contains will help you succeed in every way that matters.\n\nThe author, Brent Olson, observes the world around him from his vantage point at the town cafe:\nIt's a strange place to find myself at the age of 60. My beard smells like bacon and my hands smell like soap. I fret about expiration dates on pancake batter and whether or not people are getting tired of ginger-molasses muffins with cream cheese frosting.\n\nYou will come to know the people who populate his life, their struggles and their joys.\n\nAnd then Brent looks far beyond his hometown, to Uganda, for instance, where he notes:\nYou can get your meals off the banana tree in the backyard, but when I went to buy cough drops, the clerk opened the box, picked up a pair of scissors and asked how many I wanted. When I offered to take the whole box, she looked at me as if I were a billionaire. Living as I do in the easy part of the world, it was stunning to have it rubbed in my face just how difficult and fragile life can be.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1933794879\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1933794879.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Brent Olson\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: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
