{"product_id":"parcels-in-the-post-fiona-neary-9781848409262","title":"Parcels in the Post","description":"Welcome to the house of fun.   It’s the early 1980s and Fiona Neary and her family have recently moved back from England to the family farm. Fiona’s huge-hearted mum decides to take in foster children – a decision that will change all their lives.    Over the next decade, a procession of faces passes through the house. Every child has their own story, and each story claims a little piece of Fiona’s heart. Some stay a few weeks; some months, and then years. All these children, as well as Fiona and her family, must pass through a chaotic system: where a judge’s decision can alter a child’s life, for better or worse; where emergency placements can break up siblings; where the foster family are often left in the dark and with little back-up.   Filled with pathos and humour, Parcels in the Post is both a memoir of a loving household and snapshot of the fostering system in Ireland, from someone at the very heart of it all.","brand":"New Island Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51145113469216,"sku":"9781848409262","price":13.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781848409262.jpg?v=1781452881","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/parcels-in-the-post-fiona-neary-9781848409262","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
