At the heart of his quest is his mother, a woman of courage and tenacity-and a steely determination to press on with her life. A universal story of love and loss and the resilience of family in the face of hardship, After Visiting Friends is the account of a son who goes searching for his father, and in the journey discovers new love and admiration for his mother.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52164531028256,"sku":"NEW1451676611","price":11.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61UQUnSgALL.jpg?v=1786220906","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/after-visiting-friends-a-sons-story-1451676611","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
