Eighteen-year-old Sarah Tracy, a Yankee from Troy, NY, is anxious to escape her family's matchmaking schemes. In 1861, when she hears of an opportunity for employment at Mount Vernon, she jumps at the chance to live and work there. Soon Miss Cunningham, head of the Association that purchased the property from the Washington family, is called home to South Carolina, and the teen is left in the company of the servants-and Mr. Upton Herbert, an eligible bachelor who is the plantation's superintendent. While refurbishing the estate, the two must confront many challenges in seeing it through the war, from privations to threats from the armies. Of course, adversity unites them. This gently told story shows how war impacts noncombatants; it is sure to be popular with Rinaldi fans and lovers of historical fiction. - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
