PEARL'S WAR
PEARL'S WAR is the second adult novel from internationally bestselling and widely acclaimed young-adult author Lauren Kate.
The Kitchen House meets Wench in this historical novel by #1New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Lauren Kate, in which one woman’s quest to find her enslaved daughter will lead her to love and to freedom, and ultimately to reshape the American Civil War itself.
When Pearl escapes slavery at the Oaks Plantation in 1862, she wants only to find her infant daughter, sold away nine days after her birth. With little more than luck and her wits on her side, Pearl lands in Washington, DC, face-to-face with a man much larger than life: “Fighting Joe” Hooker, General of the Army of the Potomac.
Devastatingly handsome and fiercely beloved, Hooker has a revolutionary idea to motivate his men. Assembling his so-called Hooker’s Brigade, he pays “fallen doves” to entertain the soldiers on the long march to victory. But when Pearl signs on in hopes of safe passage to the South and money to buy her daughter back, she never expects the deep bond she and Hooker will form. United by their values, holding one another close in the heart of a country torn apart by war, both Pearl and Hooker will have to decide what they will sacrifice as they march closer to their very different dreams.
Driven by questions of race, sexuality, power, freedom, and dependence, PEARL’S WAR is a sweeping story of love: between a man and a woman, for one’s self, and most profoundly, the love of a mother for her child, set in one of the most divisive, crucial moments in American history.
Lauren Kate is the internationally bestselling author of the Fallen series, the Teardrop novels, and The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages and have sold over ten million copies worldwide. They have been #1New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers, as well as international bestsellers in many markets. Kate has an MFA from UC Davis and worked as an editor at HarperCollins Children’s for five years. She lives in Los Angeles.
