So....without further delay, here is the book I have chosen instead.
by Dara Horn
"How is tonight different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappaport, a Jewish soldier in the Union army, it is a question his commanders have answered for him: on Passover in 1862 he is ordered to murder his own uncle, who is plotting to assassinate President Lincoln.
After that night, will Jacob ever speak for himself? The answer comes when his commanders send him on another mission—this time not to murder a spy but to marry one.
A page-turner rich with romance and the history of America (North and South), this is a book only Dara Horn could have written. Full of insight and surprise, layered with meaning, it is a brilliant parable of the moral divide that still haunts us: between those who value family first and those dedicated, at any cost, to social and racial justice for all."--From the Barnes & Noble Website

I'm excited! I'm going to get this book and the one from last month to entertain me while I'm down and out from having a baby. (my mom will be here for 3 weeks taking care of Gracie, so I actually will have some time to read...yay for mom! and yay for new babies!)
Sounds like a good one. Good pick Cam, I'm excited to read it! And congrats Randi! Hope you are both doing well.
