{"product_id":"magnolia-morning-linda-baten-johnson-9781539161028","title":"Magnolia Morning","description":"A magnolia means stability and grace through changing times, and times were certainly changing in Louisiana after the Civil War.Energetic, hard-working Martha Bodine and her mother survive the war, but Captain Bodine does not return from the Confederate Army when expected, and the women must pay the back taxes or lose the family farm. A neighbor is eager to join his land with the Bodine property by marrying Martha, a solution which does not appeal to the young woman. In a desperate attempt to get the needed funds, the women rent a room to a controversial Northern gentleman, but this decision causes a rift between them and their neighbors.Peyton Anderson, a soldier from the same unit as Martha's papa, pays a visit to the farm on his way to join his family in Texas. He identifies their home by his officer's description of the large magnolia tree in the front yard. Sympathetic to their dismal circumstances, he offers to help the feisty Martha and her gentle mother. Determined to honor his obligations, Peyton fears that even his best efforts may not change the course mapped out for Martha's life or his own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Baten Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1539161021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781539161028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.18d","brand":"Linda Baten Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088536285439,"sku":"9781539161028","price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77e18c57-f15b-486a-bdee-699567680bc9.jpg?v=1769105308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magnolia-morning-linda-baten-johnson-9781539161028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
