Title: Lamb in His Bosom
First published: June 1993
Description: Caroline Miller was fascinated by the other Old South—not the romantic inhabitants of *Gone With the Wind*, but rather the poor people of the south Georgia backwoods, who never owned a slave or planned to fight a war. The story of Cean and Lonzo, a young couple who begin their married lives two decades before the Civil War, *Lamb in His Bosom* is a fascinating account of social customs and material realities among settlers of the Georgia frontier. At the same time, *Lamb in His Bosom* transcends regional history as Miller's quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman's life lived close to nature—the nature outside her and the nature within.

In 1934 *Lamb in His Bosom* won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It was the first novel by a Georgia author to win a Pulitzer, soon followed by Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind in 1937.
