When William accidentally runs over an elderly woman and is charged with manslaughter, their lives veer unexpectedly off path. As the consequences of William's accident compound, the two find themselves butting up against the society they seek to drop out of. This National Book Award-nominated debut still speaks to those who remain idealistic in a cynical world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookshop Apocalypse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48450965405945,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3103\/1574\/files\/pursuitofhappiness-1.jpg?v=1779918402","url":"https:\/\/bookshopapocalypse.com\/products\/the-pursuit-of-happiness-by-thomas-rogers-first-paperback-edition-1969-signet","provider":"Bookshop Apocalypse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
