{"product_id":"9780307833839","title":"Promised Lands: A NOVEL OF THE TEXAS REB","description":"\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Crook's vast yet intimate novel of the Texas  Revolution takes  us beyond the traditional setpieces of the Alamo and San  Jacinto to  the other places where the war was fought—to the forest traces  and  prairies and Gulf Coast beaches, and to the hearts of the novel's   vibrant characters. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong them: Domingo de la Rosa—the great Tejano  ranchero, implacable and devout, for  whom the fight against the Anglo \"heretics\" is nothing less than a holy  war. Hugh Kenner—a physician  whose son has run away to the war. Hugh will  discover the heroic  strength of his compassion, and also its brutal cost. Katie  Kenner—Hugh's restless daughter, a refugee caught up in the massive   human stampede known as The Runaway Scrape, who finds herself in love  with  a foreigner and responsible for the life of an orphan baby.  Adelaido Pacheco—a dashing tobacco smuggler loyal to no cause but his  own,  a man without a country and in peril of becoming a man without a  soul. Crucita Pacheco—Adelaido's beautiful sister who has lost her  family, all  but Adelaido, in the cholera epidemic of 1832. Feeling that  God has  forsaken her, she enters Domingo de la Rosa's employ as a spy  against the  Anglo rebels, and discovers an improbable love.  Through  these people and others, \u003ci\u003ePromised Lands\u003c\/i\u003e brings a myth-encrusted  chapter  of American history to authentic life. Elizabeth Crook demonstrates   once again a stunning command of her period and a passionate regard for  her  characters. \u003ci\u003ePromised Lands\u003c\/i\u003e bears the hallmark of a master novelist:  a grand  vision, rendered on an unforgettably human scale.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116478382320,"sku":"9780307833839","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307833839_p0.jpg?v=1763673385","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307833839","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
