{"product_id":"hopes-boy","title":"Hope's Boy","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen Andrew Bridge was seven years old, he and his mother - a mentally unstable woman who loved her child more than she could care for him - slid deeper and deeper into poverty, until they were reduced to scavenging for food in trash bins. Welfare officials did little more than threaten to take Andrew away, until a social worker arrived with a police escort and did just that while his mother screamed on the sidewalk. And so began Andrew's descent into the foster care system - \"care\" being a terrible irony, as he received almost none for the next 11 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcademic achievement was Andrew's ticket out of hell - a scholarship to Wesleyan University led to Harvard Law School and a Fulbright Scholarship. Now an accomplished adult, he has dedicated his life to working on behalf of the frightened children still lost in the system.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHope's Boy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis his story, a story of endurance and the power of love and, most of all, of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bridge, Andrew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36066465480871,"sku":"","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/41ErPVcXSWL.jpg?v=1598632031","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/hopes-boy","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
