Title: Angels watching over me
Description: A story as full of emotion and drama as the characters themselves. Born within a year of each other and in the same North Carolina county, Mayme and Katie had grown up in two separate worlds. Mayme was a member of a slave family, and her future held nothing but slavery and hardship. Katie's future was bright with promise -- a Southern family's genteel plantation life surrounded by books and music and culture. Then came the Emancipation Proclamation and the horrors of a nation at war with itself. By the war's conclusion, death and destruction had fallen on Katie's Rosewood Plantation home and on Mayme's slave quarters. What would the future bring to them now? Two girls from two different worlds -- can they survive in a world suddenly turned upside down? - Back cover.
