About this ebook

Book 1 of SHENANDOAH SISTERS. Two young Southern girls, one the daughter of a plantation owner and one the daughter of a slave, barely survive the onset of the Civil War and the loss of both their families. When these tragic circumstances bring them together, they join forces to discover if they can make a life for themselves. As their preconceptions give way to experience, they gradually learn to value their contrasting and complementing strengths and skills as they face the formidable task of keeping body and soul together in the aftermath of this devastating war. But is it possible the Lord they have come to know has something bigger in mind for the plantation than either of them can imagine?

Ratings and reviews

This book draws you in with the reality of two young girls, one white and one black in the aftermath of the civil war. Their lives change forever and they must find a way to survive on their own. Couldn't put the book down and read all 4 in the series one after the other.

I could almost see the scenery, he has a way of placing you at the scene without getting to long-winded. I was surprised when I realized I had come to the end of the book, the time had just flown by. I did think the character of Katie was a bit too naive for a slave owners daughter.

It was a great read! Couldn't put it down drew me in from the start the author really made you feel like these two girls were real. The story line was easy to follow he brought you into their world you felt what they was going threw. Can't wait to see whats next!
