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. |
