Infused by a hard-won, edgy wisdom, \u003ci\u003eVida\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a sensational new literary voice.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grove Press, Black Cat","offers":[{"title":"Vida | Patricia Engel | Paperback | 9780802170781 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1613403","offer_id":48313014550680,"sku":"1613403","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81VyxutAMNL.jpg?v=1773159583","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/vida","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
