But it is 1972. There is a war in Vietnam and civil unrest at home. Both will change their lives forever.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Jack's helicopter crashes in Vietnam, Cassie struggles to move on. But grief isn't her only challenge. As a new teacher in the south, she is naïve and ignorant of the pattern of racism and extreme poverty. Confronted with situations that both shock and disturb her, she remains determined to make a difference in the lives of her students.\u003cbr\u003eHer allies in this effort are Reina, the African-American social worker in the school, and Grant, a high school history teacher, who has his own challenges, as the high school erupts in racial turmoil over the use of Confederate symbols.\u003cbr\u003eThe story is told through the eyes of both Cassie and Grant, whose budding romance is thwarted both by Cassie's grief for her lost husband and the unfolding traumatic events in Pensacola. Cassie is initially resistant to Grant's romantic overtures, but life-threatening events and an unexpected messenger help her to embrace new love and purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10314245\"\u003eTheresa Schimmel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Theresa Schimmel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991299843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0991299841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC014000\"\u003eHistorical | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theresa Schimmel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585509912813,"sku":"9780991299843","price":18.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_67b04993-d8da-4c2c-ad68-ec05583961b7.jpg?v=1702163778","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/yankee-girl-in-dixie-9780991299843","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
