{"product_id":"balancing-act","title":"Balancing Act","description":"Susie Moran is a success . She has founded and run her own highly profitable company, and now her three daughters are all involved in the business. Rooted in the traditions of the Stoke-on-Trent potteries, and producing charming, useable objects of distinctive design, Susie is justly proud of her family and her achievement – and has no intention of letting it change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what of the men in the family? Susie's husband, a musician and artist, has always seemed happy to take a back seat. One of her sons-in-law has few ambitions outside the home. Another daughter, though, has brought her husband into the company - and they want to change things, much to Susie's distress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then, into the mix arrives Susie's father, an ageing hippy who abandoned Susie as a baby. Now he's alone, and wants to build bridges , although Susie's daughters are outraged at the idea. Can the needs of a family business override the needs of the family itself? In wanting to preserve her business, will Susie lose something much more precious?","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ 49f15b55119","offer_id":48067904667799,"sku":"9780857521088PW-VG-000120001","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/8136413482493.jpg?v=1785055566","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/balancing-act","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
