Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.","brand":"Kristen Ashley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50680703975698,"sku":"9780692323663","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f0c40275-ddf2-458a-b972-e20c7faa44eb.jpg?v=1744215860","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/for-you-9780692323663","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
