Fast and easy to read. Exciting and intriguing. You want to know what is going to happen next and how the girls will get through each predicament that comes their way. You will want to rush out and get the next book!
A tale of two orphaned teen aged girls keeping a plantation going after the Civil War seemed a bit simplistic and unrealistic. I like the premise stated in the title, which is emphasized throughout the book. The Reconstruction period was brutal, and I'm not sure this could have actually happened. However, it's a book of fiction, so perhaps I shouldn't be expecting history. It has a good moral message and is a easy read. However, I don't think I'll seek out any of the other books in the series.
A relative loved this series and I wanted to give it a chance, but it is just awful. Or perhaps I should say, it is written on about a fifth grade level and absolutely every plot development is telegraphed from the first page. The use of heavy dialect was very distracting and actually quite offensive. But maybe I should say what I really think....
Wow! I couldn't drop it for a second! I was at it till I knew what happened to Templeton Davis. So suspense filled! From one situation to another and the real truth! The colour of your skin isn't the colour of your heart. You can see the life of Templeton change. From an irresponsible thief to a responsible father, uncle and carer of the other children. That's what salvation can make of us and God does give us a second chance, sadly many fail at it and not many are able to make it through. I've
I have really enjoyed this series the more I read them. I love how the author incorporates his christian beliefs through thought provoking experiences. The books are about the stuggles the characters endure and how their hearts are changed and their outlooks on life are influenced by their circumstances. I enjoy how the characters moral dilemmas and eventual successes can easily be related to our own lives and current situations.
