{"product_id":"she-aint-heavy-shes-my-mother-a-memoir-9780307588869","title":"She Ain't Heavy, She's My Mother: A Memoir","description":"Gayle Batt is the kind of lady who throws elegant cocktail parties while wearing layers of silk chiffon, dripping pearls, and eight months' pregnant. She is the kind of woman who says \"anyhoo\" and calls everyone \"Dahlin'\" or a special pet name. With hair, makeup, and nails always done to perfection, she triumphs rather than crumbles when infidelity, alcoholism, cancer, or any form of adversity attempts to shatter her family. Endearing and enduring, Gayle is a big-hearted, strong-willed true Southern belle--and she taught her son everything he knows about being a man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eShe Ain't Heavy, She's My Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, Bryan Batt, the actor who plays Sal Romano on the Emmy, Golden Globe, and Peabody Award-winning \u003ci\u003eMad\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMen, \u003c\/i\u003echronicles his life--and his mother's supportive presence in it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom growing up gay below the Mason-Dixon Line to landing principal roles on Broadway (his first was on roller skates playing a singing and dancing boxcar in \u003ci\u003eStarlight Express\u003c\/i\u003e!) and later on the picture-perfect sets of TV's \u003ci\u003eMad Men, \u003c\/i\u003eto opening the ever-popular Hazelnut boutique in his hometown of New Orleans with his partner, Bryan weaves a touching and hilarious story of the South, showbiz, and an unshakable bond between mother and son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16152304\"\u003eBryan Batt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.27w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307588869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307588866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO005000\"\u003eEntertainment \u0026amp; Performing Arts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO031000\"\u003eLGBTQ+\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBRYAN BATT appears on the Emmy Award-winning drama \u003ci\u003eMad Men \u003c\/i\u003eand has performed in many Broadway and off-Broadway productions, including \u003ci\u003eJeffrey, Starlight Express, Cats, and Beauty and the Beast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHazelnut, the home-accessory shop he owns with his partner in New Orleans, has been featured in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHouse Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInStyle\u003c\/i\u003e, and other publications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ewww.BryanBatt.com\u003cbr\u003ewww.HazelnutNewOrleans.com","brand":"Crown Publishing Group (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43827327238283,"sku":"9780307588869","price":23.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_417b1a9a-40e1-4d36-9574-ab36d3a45bff.jpg?v=1755529957","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/she-aint-heavy-shes-my-mother-a-memoir-9780307588869","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
