Georgia, 1864: Sherman's army marches inexorable 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.

A very good book!
