Now I have broken out on my own Sarah Tracy has spent her entire life under constant supervision  always under the thumb of one older sibling or another. Now  at eighteen its time for her to get married  so she is sent to dinner parties  plays  teas  soirees  talks  and chaperoned walks -- always accompanied  always watched. Sarahs tired of it -- tired of being shipped around  tired of being reminded that its time to find a suitable husband. She knows that a husband is definitely not what she wants. But the year is 1861 and its not proper for girls of Sarahs age to be single or independent. Then Sarah sees an advertisement looking for a young woman to oversee Mount Vernon  the beloved  though now dilapidated  family home of George Washington. Intent on securing the position  she lies to her family and her potential employer  and she becomes mistress of this decaying symbol of American freedom. And then comes the American Civil War. As battles rage around her  Sarah is determined to create a haven of peace at Mount Vernon. With consummate skills  feminine wiles  and a true sense of diplomacy  Sarah single-handedly manages to keep Mount Vernon out of the war. But while she is able to influence generals  soldiers  and even the president  she learns she doesnt hold such sway over her own heart -- as she also discovers true love. Based on a true story  this is the amazing tale of one girls path to womanhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67978666377269,"sku":"ByrdShop_0689859244","price":46.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780689859243.jpg?v=1794670876","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sarahs-ground-9780689859243","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
