Phillips, Michael R., 1946- (Author).

Summary:

Two very different girls, one the daughter of a slave, the other the daughter of a plantation owner, must fight to stay alive--and together--after being orphaned by the Civil War. Katie and Mayme are forced to grow up quickly as Rosewood becomes a sanctuary to others. As their numbers increase, so does the risk of their secret getting out. Evil men are searching for Emma's baby, and a young newcomer brings her mother's death'and her father's hate--to Katie's door. Will Mayme risk her freedom--and her life--to protect them all?
