This is a reckoning with the dark side of fame: the systems, the entourage, and the institutions that allowed one boy to be erased. This is the never before told story of how he escaped and found his way back from the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68000039698668,"sku":"9781538784723","price":73.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781538784723-in-the-shadow-of-eight-1.jpg?v=1793317093"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/collin-gosselin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
