Angels Watching Over Me

The Shenandoah Sisters, Book 1

De: Michael Phillips

Narrado por: Susan Spain

Michael Phillips is one of today's most popular Christian authors. He has written more than four dozen novels, with over five million copies in print. Angels Watching Over Me is the first book in a stirring saga that follows two women, one black, one white, in the aftermath of the Civil War.

Before the war, Rosewood Plantation is large and prosperous. During the war years, women and slaves struggle to keep it running. But in the bloody days following the Northern victory, a marauding band of Union soldiers ravages Rosewood. Katie, the master's young daughter, and Mayme, a slave girl, are the only survivors of the carnage. Now the two have only each other, and their shared faith in God, to rely on.

As their friendship grows, so does their conviction that God is directing them to work together. Michael Phillips' flair for creating engaging characters and narrator Susan Spain's thoughtful reading are a perfect match.

Angels

Amazing story about the devastation in the wake of the Civil War. History
made real by this heartfelt story.
Perhaps there is another book to follow because this first book
does not seem to have an ending.

Rather Disappointing

It starts off believable. But for two girls, regardless of their color, to run an entire plantation and keep up the pretense the parents are still alive - is not believable or realistic. Maybe if I hadn’t already listened to so many of Lynn Austin‘s historical stories sat in the same time period I wouldn’t have been so disappointed with this story.

Wonderfully engaging

I started this book with not a little trepidation. I love Michael Phillips, but this seems so different from other things he has written, wondering if I would find a story about two women in the 1800’s South interesting. Boy, cannot wait to the next one!

Loved it !!

I loved this book. I enjoy stories that take place during the civil war. This was a good one. Finally a story that has a happy ending during that time. About time.

Sweet story

Loved the main character and the narrator really brought her to life. Very well done.
