Description
Georgia 1864: Sherman's army marches inexorably from Atlanta to the sea. In its path: the charming old city of Savannah, where the Lester ladies-attractive widow 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.
Praise For Savannah…
A delightful Christmas story. (The Post and Courier) Jakes makes the city, the war, and his characters come alive... (Sarasota Herald-Tribune)
