{"product_id":"rainbows-in-puddles-9781935199199","title":"Rainbows in Puddles","description":"Edwin Vikman and his twin Dwane are men of courage and perseverance who were born during the depression. Orphaned when their mother died in childbirth and their father, a popular Lutheran minister, was killed in a car accident. The life that followed was harrowing. Ed says early in the account, \"If I didn't dream I could make it, I would never even come close.\" How they survived those early years is documented in this story. It is a true story of endurance and love, a story filled with heartache, but humor too. It was a life spent with an aunt who despised them, a life of foster homes, and a life of near indentured servitude. Despite this, the Vikman story is not one of misery and neglect. Indeed, it is a story of triumph. When asked why the story should be told, Edwin said, \"I want people to understand that it's not how a person is raised, but what they do with their lives that's important. I simply want our story told.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Mustang Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50493228744978,"sku":"9781935199199","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_96ddfb1c-d2e0-4414-a66b-c4d40666100c.jpg?v=1730638794","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/rainbows-in-puddles-9781935199199","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
