One of the most interesting and beautiful series i have read, and i have read alot of them. Each book really will stand alone, but it is so nice to start this series from the beginning, since this is number 1. It is a very touching story and i felt as if i were on the plantation and cotton was growing in the far field and jam and biscuits were warm and dripping in the mornings and that Southern breeze i loved so well when i was in the south is such a beautiful way to end the day. Times were expected to be hard but there is also so much faith and love in this series. It will make you wake up and FEEL this era.

Shortly after the Civil War, Mayme, a slave girl, witnesses the murder of her family. She wanders to a plantation several miles away to discover Katie, the only survivor of a massacre at her home. Together they start to put their lives as back to normal as they can. Mayme teaches Katie how to chop wood, milk cows, and shoot a gun. Katie teaches Mayme about Mozart, the minuet, and how to read. Katie convinces Mayme to stay, and share her home in spite of the differences in their background, while keeping the secret that they are all alone, and left to fend for themselves. This is the first book of a series of four. You do have to read them all to find out what happens. I love the message this book conveys, that anyone can become family.
