{"product_id":"where-dreams-die-hard","title":"Where Dreams Die Hard","description":"Down Farm Road 308, an hour's drive south of Dallas, amidst sprawling fields of cotton lies a small community- Penelope, Texas (population 211). Here, where the only thriving businesses are the granary and the post office, unless you count the soft-drink machine in front of the fire station, two-time Edgar award-winning writer Carlton Stowers discovered a special town that came together, not only to support their six-man highschool football team- the Penelope Wolverines- through thick and a lot of thin, but also, and more importantly, each other.  Where Dreams Die Hard  is a warm and revealing portrait of the American heartland- and of one small town's love affair with the team that unites it. \"Through his unforgettable depiction of innocence, goodness, loyalty, and friendship...Carlton Stowers gives us a moving portrait of a community that, in the words of one of the Penelope faithful, is like'stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting.'\" (Billie Letts, author of  Where the Heart Is ) \"High school football in Texas is both sport and religion, and Stowers brilliantly brings this to light in Where Dreams Die Hard.\" (Jim Dent, author of  The Junction Boys )","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54226829279576,"sku":"9780306814976","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780306814976__67743a3944b8c_7b5b5864-4846-4bca-bbb9-c419edb31de8.jpg?v=1741156614","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/where-dreams-die-hard","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
