{"product_id":"blessed-assurance-a-postmodern-midwestern-life-paperback","title":"Blessed Assurance: A Postmodern Midwestern Life - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, a historian of women's lives turns the lens on her own experience. Her story is \"Midwestern\" for its work ethic, modesty, faith, and resilience; \"postmodern\" for its sudden changes, strange juxtapositions, and retrospective deconstruction of the ideologies that shaped its progress. It describes a life in and out of academia and a search for acceptance, recognition, equality, and freedom. The author of three books on women's experiences in Russia and Europe, Dr. Marcelline Hutton traces her personal journey from traditional working-class La Porte, Indiana, through college, graduate school, marriage, motherhood, divorce, and independence in Iowa City, Southampton, Kansas City, El Paso, and ultimately Lithuania. She arrives at a place of \"blessed assurance,\" recognizing who she was, what she has done, and what she most valued. The book is a testimony of life found and treasured and shared. We are privileged to see her world through this honest, perceptive, and insightful recollection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68031083675871,"sku":"9781609621551","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/7P2ldlY2v9781609621551.webp?v=1792025529","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/blessed-assurance-a-postmodern-midwestern-life-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
