{"product_id":"9781620060421","title":"The Amish Rebel","description":"Fall, 1861. America has entered a deadly civil war to settle the issue of the rights of the states - notably the right to allow slavery - versus the rights of the central government. From bases at Hampton Roads and elsewhere, warships of the powerful Federal Navy patrol the southern coast enforcing a naval blockade against the South. \u003cbr\u003eIn Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries are a primary hunting ground for Union gunboats ferreting out supplies destined for the rebel army. Raids on the farms, plantations and towns bordering the rivers and inlets are commonplace.\u003cbr\u003eWhen a Union gunboat ascends the Mattaponi River and raids the Amish farm of the Buckner family, Jacob Buckner's long-standing doubts about the Amish way of life reach the boiling point. Violence breaks out, and in a fit of rage, Jacob ignores his parents' admonition to \"turn the other cheek\". His action unleashes a chain of events that carry him into the Confederate Navy and a world of deadly combat, betrayal and romance as far removed from the Amish way of life as he could possibly imagine. But it is a world that places him on the stage of history and unveils the true Jacob Buckner.","brand":"Sunbury Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062450209008,"sku":"9781620060421","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781620060421_p0.jpg?v=1763860278","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781620060421","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
