  <default_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 &quot;a Christmas gift,&quot; Hattie and the feared general find themselves on a collision course that will astonish both of them.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[John Jakes's stand-alone novels just don't have the same feel as his sweeping sagas. The story spans about a month leading up to and after Christmas 1864. There is character development, but the story still seems somewhat abbreviated to me.

    <body><![CDATA[Read this book just prior to a vacation to Savannah.  I love reading historical novels and having the setting in Savannah was a plus.

    <body><![CDATA[My first historical book!  It took me a good 50 some pages to get into the book but once I got in it moved your right along with it!  I think it too me so long because I wasn't devoting much time to reading as I would have liked!  Not sure if I will read more but you never know!<br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Jakes disappointed me with this one. Having read pretty much everything he's written, I had gotten used to huge tomes of finely researched prose.  This one felt rushed and vague, and left me wondering what was the point of writing it.  I hope his next one is better.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book gave me an insight into both sides (confederate and Union) of the civil war. The book includes facts but the characters are ficticious. I learned that slavery was not the main reason for this political war but moreover the treatment of slaves by the southerners. ]]></body>
