And in The Old Gentleman, a daughter becomes alienated from her father when he finds love -- or what he thinks could be love -- in his old age. Frances Hwang is a powerful talent, and Transparency not only showcases her myriad gifts, but also announces the arrival of an exciting new voice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737301975328,"sku":"NEW0316166936","price":19.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/616HVIuNmNL.jpg?v=1779557530","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/transparency-stories-0316166936","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
