{"product_id":"9781561456017","title":"Lamb in His Bosom","description":"In 1934, Caroline Miller's novel \u003ci\u003eLamb in His Bosom\u003c\/i\u003e won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It was the first novel by a Georgia author to win a Pulitzer, soon followed by Margaret Mitchell's \u003ci\u003eGone With the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e in 1937. In fact, Lamb was largely responsible for the discovery of \u003ci\u003eGone With the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e; after reading Miller's novel, Macmillan editor Harold S. Latham sought other southern novels and authors, and found Margaret Mitchell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaroline Miller was fascinated by the other Old South—not the romantic inhabitants of Gone With the Wind, but rather the poor people of the south Georgia backwoods, who never owned a slave or planned to fight a war. The story of Cean and Lonzo, a young couple who begin their married lives two decades before the Civil War, \u003ci\u003eLamb in His Bosom\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating account of social customs and material realities among settlers of the Georgia frontier. At the same time, \u003ci\u003eLamb in His Bosom\u003c\/i\u003e transcends regional history as Miller's quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman's life lived close to nature—the nature outside her and the nature within.
