{"product_id":"ernie-s-ark-10826548","title":"Ernie's Ark","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe paper mill looms up from the riverbank in Abbott Falls, Maine, a town once drenched with ordinary hopes and dreams, now praying for a small drop of good fortune. Ernie Whitten, a pipe fitter, was three weeks away from a pension-secured retirement when the union went on strike eight months ago. Now his wife Marie is ill. Struck with sudden inspiration, Ernie builds a giant ark in his backyard. It is a work of art for his wife; a vessel to carry them both away; or a plea for God to spare Marie, come hell or high water. As the ark takes shape, the rest of the town carries on. There’s Dan Little, a building-code enforcer who comes to fine Ernie for the ark and makes a significant discovery about himself; Francine Love, a precocious thirteen-year-old who longs to be a part of the family-like world of the union workers; and Atlantic Pulp \u0026amp; Paper CEO Henry John McCoy, an impatient man wearily determined to be a good father to his twenty-six-year-old daughter. The people of Abbott Falls will try their best to hold a community together, against the fiercest of odds. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monica Wood","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":44288412221539,"sku":"10826548-fine","price":3.25,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/0320\/2147\/files\/view_archive_ef8bb0fa-c6f2-4876-b406-da3ad1b97009.jpg?v=1782275371","url":"https:\/\/qasralthaqafa.com\/products\/ernie-s-ark-10826548","provider":"Qasr Al-Thaqafa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
