Not only was she hard of hearing, noise actually caused her pain. But if there were more than two people in a room, it was hard for me to follow the conversation because there was too much distraction. A deaf friend realized that straining to understand the church services was probably the reason why Rebecca developed migraines afterwards. Ultimately she stopped going.
Instead, she began to ask God's angels to watch over her, and to be there when she needed some special help. But like all of us, Rebecca sometimes wondered if heavenly help was really there. This installment ended with their decision to carry out a plan that will maintain this facade until they come of age. It is an interesting premise although the behavior, language and ways of speaking are definitely not associated with the language and ways of period of the story.
This distracted me at times. Still it was an engaging book. Plan to read the remaining books if you want to get the whole story. This one leaves you hanging. Katie is a daughter of a white plantation owner and Mayme is a black slave girl who grew up on a different plantation. Shortly after the death of their families, the two girls actually become friends and help each other. Although they have different backgrounds and different talents, they work together to protect each other, and run the plantation on their own.
Mayme is practical and Katie a dreamer, but both girls open their hearts up to God and seek His direction. I enjoyed this historical fiction book and look forward to the next in this Shenandoah Sisters series. It was a good page turner. This was a free book, in a series of books. My local library doesn't have any of the books. I did find the books in two near by libraries.
I have often wondered what the slaves did after they were declared to be free. This novel tells of a friendship between a white plantation owners daughter, and a teen aged slave. Both of the girls had their families murdered by marauders, who road in on their horses, and shot the plantation owners and their slaves. The girls used their combined skills to surv This was a free book, in a series of books. The girls used their combined skills to survive on the white girls plantation.
At the end of the book they decided to try to run the plantation on their own, and to fool people into thinking her parents were still alive. Jun 07, Marianne Wonnacott rated it liked it. I was completely taken in by the very believable characters. Really enjoyed the story of two young girls, one white and one black, who have to learn to survive after witnessing a terrible tragedy after the end of the Civil War.
It got a little far-fetched in the end, but still captivating. I guess the only thing that I struggled with is the drastic change in personality of Katie towards the end of the book. I realize people change, especially in extreme circumstances, but it was so sudden.

I wou I was completely taken in by the very believable characters. I would have enjoyed and believed the change more if it had come more gradually instead of literally from one minute to the next. This book is one of the best reads I have seen in a while! Though it is only part of the whole series. I hope that all can be combined into a novel. I love the two natures of Mary Ann and Kathleen and how God puts them together and the sisterly love that grows from this.
Both characters have a strength and beauty that keeps you glued to this well written book. Jul 13, Judy rated it liked it. Like it but it was a little simple. Feb 16, Debra Little rated it it was amazing. I read the whole series. Gripping A gripping tale with lots of heart.

Mar 22, Pam rated it it was amazing. It is book two in the Shenendoah Sisters series.
It is set beginning in in North Carolina. Katie Claiborne was 10 years old when the Civil War broke out. She was the only child of the Claibornes. She learned what was going on in the house through her tutelage by her Mother and of the plantation by going out with her Father. She was always intended to be mistress of Rosewood plantation along with her husband when she married and when her parent Angels Watching Over Me is by Michael Phillips.
She was always intended to be mistress of Rosewood plantation along with her husband when she married and when her parents died. However, now, she was only interested in what interested her. Her daydreaming got her into trouble occasionally. Her Father and brothers left to fight for the South leaving Katie and her Mother on the plantation. Her Mother took up the reins of running the plantation but had to give in and take out a couple of loans on the plantation.
This was the only time Katie remembered seeing him. When he left, he took the cash that was hidden in a box in the pantry. Then they were hit by raiders and everyone was killed except Katie and the newly freed slaves who managed to run away. What was Katie to do now? She had some of the livestock remaining; but no one to care for them or to help her. While she was wondering what to do, Mayme showed up. Mayme was Mary Ann Jukes a slave from a nearby plantation. Her family had been slaughtered by the same raiders as those who hit Rosewood. She had no idea if the Master of the plantation had survived or not, she just ran.
Now she thought she was a runaway and could be caught, whipped, and possibly resold. She did not know she had been freed. When she came to Rosewood, she took pity on Katie and helped her bury her family and begin to get some things in order. Could the two manage to keep the plantation in working order and keep food on the table for themselves as well as another slave, Emma, and her baby, William?
Could they keep everyone safe? After all, they were only two fifteen year old girls. It is book one in the Shenandoah Sisters series. After all, they were only two fifteen year old girls Aug 13, Barb rated it really liked it. It is a post-Civil War story written about two young girls, one white and one black, living in North Carolina.
Katherine Claiborne is the daughter of a plantation owner. One brother is killed during the war and after the armistice is signed, Katie and her mother are waiting for the return of their men. Tragedy befalls the Claiborne plantation, Rosewood, and Katie is left on her own. Mary Ann Juke, also called Mayme, is a slave daughter on a neighboring plantation.
Her family is killed when marauders attack the plantation and slave quarters as they did on Rosewood. Mayme hides from the killers and after burying her dead, decides to start walking in case they come back for her. She finds herself on the Rosewood plantation, hungry and tired. When she enters the house she finds Katie in a state of shock at what happened to her family. Katie is not accustomed to working on the plantation and Mayme has to guide her as to what to do next to stay alive.
The two girls decide to make the plantation seem as though the slaves are still working as freemen and the house and Rosalind are still alive. They are afraid that Katie will be sent to an orphanage and that Mayme will suffer a worse fate. The story continues by telling how the two young girls fooled the whole countryside into believing that Rosewood was still being run by Rosalind Claiborne, who is still waiting for the men to return from the war.
I was thoroughly intrigued by the resourcefulness of the two girls and all they accomplished, just the two of them alone. Katie and Mayme learned to love each other as sisters and lived accordingly. I was so impressed with this novel that I read the other three books in the series as they followed: I also want to read This book was very interesting to me because I am a fan of historical novels especially novels about the Civil War. I think you will enjoy reading this book. I look forward to reading the sequel series, Carolina Cousins, by Michael Phillips.

I wanted to like this book more than 3 stars. I finished it today after starting it months ago and setting it aside since it didn't speak to me at the time.
I have some issues with historical accuracy, that I may need to research but from what little I know of slavery they are as follows. Would a slave girl be taught to read, even a small amount? From my understanding there were laws out there against teaching slaves to rea I wanted to like this book more than 3 stars. From my understanding there were laws out there against teaching slaves to read so I have a hard time believing that a young slave girl, that really has no skills to the point of even talking about only 2 uses for a slave girl reading is not one of them. The use of the scriptures in by this slave girl also seemed in accurate, again not completely knowing what scriptures were available during the civil war, I would assume it would be the King James Version, and the scriptures quoted were not in the language of the KJV.
To top it off I am to believe a Slave woman, would own a family bible? I know there are other issues that I can't think of right of on the historical accuracy but that is just a couple that stood out to me. Then the book just ended, with no real resolution of anything. Surely the author must realize to get people interested in a series of books the first much have some kind of resolution.
If you look at most series and trilogies, and if you look at the ones I like most by Katherine Kurtz, there is a completion of at least one complication at the end of a book to leave a reader satisfied. This book does not do this. All it does is leave the girls deciding to try to stay on a plantation without anyone knowing otherwise. It honestly doesn't sound realistic at all. A slave girl that knows a bit of what she did, and a spoiled daughter of a murdered family that never had to work at all.
Only two of them on a plantation. There is no way they could manage that large of a property without more help to keep suspicions away.
Feb 08, Brianna added it. Mayme was a little girl she told story since her brother was five years old. Well that how far back she could remember anyways.
