Liberty's Call

About the Book

Thirty-seven years before Scarlett O’Hara and Gone With the Wind, Janice Meredith juggled suitors, struggled to survive and watched a sweeping war transform America. Her story was the subject of a best-selling novel, in 1899—and the most expensive movie made to-date, in 1924. Now, Liberty’s Call gives Janice’s story to modern readers.
