{"product_id":"bitter-over-sweet","title":"Bitter Over Sweet","description":"Hawaiian native Tita works to escape a vicious cycle of poverty and abuse, only to realize along the way that life can not only be better, it can be whatever she wants it to be... Take a deep dive into the lives of real Hawaiians as we follow Tita and other native women living and struggling against abuse and despair in a world controlled by tourism's long tail. These stories of resilience offer readers a glimpse behind the bird-of-paradise curtains and a look at what's not in the travel magazines. What is it like to live day in and day out in a place that everyone else considers paradise? To live within America but not be considered American enough? Bitter Over Sweet gifts us a rare, authentic indigenous voice speaking about these often misunderstood islands. It's Night of the Living Rez meets Lilo and Stitch.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 195163151X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781951631512\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Llanes Brownlee, Melissa\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Santa Fe Writer's Project\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Santa Fe Writer's Project","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Nov 2025)","offer_id":46080795738309,"sku":"9781951631512","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781951631512.jpg?v=1776040371","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/bitter-over-sweet","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
