{"product_id":"2940170683956","title":"Savannah {or} a Gift for Mr. Lincoln (Abridged)","description":"The author of sixteen consecutive \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers sets his sights on the jewel of the South-Savannah-and brings it to life in his inimitable style. \u003cbr\u003e Georgia, 1864: Sherman's army marches from Atlanta to the sea. In its path, the charming old city of Savannah where the Lester ladies -- attractive widowed Sara and her feisty twelve-year-old daughter Hattie -- struggle to save the family rice plantation. When Sherman offers the conquered city to President Lincoln as \"a Christmas gift,\" Hattie and the feared general find themselves on a collision course that will astonish both of them. \u003cbr\u003e In this rousing new tale, \"the godfather of the historical novel\" -- \u003ci\u003e(Los Angeles Times)\u003c\/i\u003e -- tells a story of battlefield danger, wartime romance, and indomitable courage. The rich cast of characters includes a corrupt judge; a fast-talking, piano-playing reporter from New York; a pair of thwarted young lovers; a raffish Indiana cavalryman; a valiant former slave; and a whole bagful of rascals, rebels, and real soldiers who marched with Sherman. \u003cbr\u003e Together they bring to life an almost-forgotten moment in the Civil War -- a season of simmering hostilities, rising hopes, and empty stockings -- perhaps the most strife-torn yet heartwarming Christmas in all of American history.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117409517808,"sku":"2940170683956","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170683956_p0.jpg?v=1763811307","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170683956","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
