{ "item_title" : "A Daughter of the Land", "item_author" : [" Gene Stratton Porter "], "item_description" : "A Daughter of the Land is Gene Stratton-Porter's story of ambition, independence, work, and a woman's fight to claim a life of her own. Kate Bates is the daughter of a prosperous farm family, but being one of many children means she is expected to accept the limits placed before her. Intelligent, strong-willed, and unwilling to disappear into other people's plans, Kate wants land, education, usefulness, and a measure of freedom that no one seems eager to hand her.First published in 1918, the novel blends domestic fiction, rural realism, romance, and Stratton-Porter's familiar concern with character shaped by the natural world. Kate's journey takes her through family conflict, teaching, marriage, loss, hard choices, and the practical realities of earning a place in the world. The result is one of Stratton-Porter's more direct novels of female self-reliance: a story about work, inheritance, disappointment, endurance, and the stubborn dignity of building something that cannot easily be taken away.Readers drawn to classic women's fiction, American rural fiction, early twentieth-century domestic novels, farm-life stories, and Gene Stratton-Porter's nature-rooted storytelling will find A Daughter of the Land a strong and satisfying work. It belongs beside her better-known novels as another example of her belief that character, labor, land, and moral courage are inseparable.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/60/459/475/1604594756_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.99", "online_price" : "12.99", "our_price" : "12.99", "club_price" : "12.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
