- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The continuing saga of young orphans Katie Clarbourne and Mayme Jukes chronicles their challenges as they attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives and make a home for themselves and two others who happen upon their doorsteps. They are challenged by the prejudices of the Southern culture in which they live, along with the very real dangers faced by newly freed blacks in the post-war south. Additionally the under-aged pair have no real legal standing in a world where men rule and children under 18 are at the mercy of their elders with no legal recourse. Katie is fearful that her father's brother would take the plantation from her and banish her new found friends should he find out they are alone. Her mother's two brothers include a ne'r-do-well uncle who comes around only when he needs help and another who is presumed dead. Two hefty loans coming due on the property threaten them with foreclosure. A fascinating account of how persons faced with adversity, but forging a beginning faith and helped by more mature Christian friends can counter the challenges that beleaguer them.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A Day to Pick Your Own Cotton by Michael Phillips: (book 2 of 4); (4*)Mayme and Katy are now fifteen and they share the secret that all of Katy's family & slaves are dead. The two girls have decided to continue to live at Katy's plantation, Rosewood, on their own and pretend that Katie's mother is still alive. As if that were not difficult enough, now they must protect three other people as well. Emma, a former slave and her baby, William, are hiding at Rosewood from William's father who is the son of Emma's former master as well as Mayme's, though the girls did not know one another. (Emma being a house slave and Mayme being a field slave)Also a little white girl, Aleta has found them and needs care & protection. She and her mother were running away from the girl's drunken, abusive father when their horse went down and the mother was killed. So she also is living at Rosewood and is determined not to return home to her father.Mayme and Katie have other worries as well. A loan is due soon at the bank and if they don't pay they will not be able to protect their secret and Katy will lose Rosewood. They also have secretly learned that one of Katy's uncles went to California in the gold rush days and may have left some gold in her mother's keeping.I highly enjoyed this series of books and recommend them to anyone interested in Civil War fiction &/or good Christian books.
