{"product_id":"safekeeping-some-true-stories-from-a-life-9780385720557","title":"Safekeeping: Some True Stories from a Life","description":"A beautifully crafted and inviting account of one woman's life, \u003cb\u003eSafekeeping\u003c\/b\u003e offers a sublimely different kind of autobiography. Setting aside a straightforward narrative in favor of brief passages of vivid prose, Abigail Thomas revisits the pivotal moments and the tiny incidents that have shaped her life: pregnancy at 18; single motherhood (of three!) by the age of 26; the joys and frustrations of three marriages; and the death of her second husband, who was her best friend. The stories made of these incidents are startling in their clarity and reassuring in their wisdom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a book in which silence speaks as eloquently as what is revealed. Openhearted and effortlessly funny, these brilliantly selected glimpses of the arc of a life are, in an age of excessive confession and recrimination, a welcome tonic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abigail Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 5.46w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385720557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbigail Thomas is the author of the novel \u003cb\u003eAn Actual Life\u003c\/b\u003e and the story collections \u003cb\u003eGetting Over Tom\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eHerb's Pajamas\u003c\/b\u003e.
