{"product_id":"rainbows-in-puddles-9781935199199","title":"Rainbows in Puddles","description":"Edwin Vikman and his twin Dwane are men of courage and perseverance who were born during the depression. Orphaned when their mother died in childbirth and their father, a popular Lutheran minister, was killed in a car accident. The life that followed was harrowing. Ed says early in the account, \"If I didn't dream I could make it, I would never even come close.\" How they survived those early years is documented in this story. It is a true story of endurance and love, a story filled with heartache, but humor too. It was a life spent with an aunt who despised them, a life of foster homes, and a life of near indentured servitude. Despite this, the Vikman story is not one of misery and neglect. Indeed, it is a story of triumph. When asked why the story should be told, Edwin said, \"I want people to understand that it's not how a person is raised, but what they do with their lives that's important. I simply want our story told.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9162963\"\u003eMary Treacy Thompson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue Mustang Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935199199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935199196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Mustang Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43830546989195,"sku":"9781935199199","price":17.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_2efb54e7-39be-41ef-b02c-f5cc39197f38.jpg?v=1755579411","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/rainbows-in-puddles-9781935199199","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
