[PW] Civil War tale

[Jon George]

Sounds a lot like Michael R. Phillips' "Shenandoah Sisters" series of
Christian historicals.  Our summary for "Angels watching over me",
Bethany House, 2003, the first in the series: 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 hardship. Katie's future was bright with the the
promise of a 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 alike. What would the future bring to them now?

Hi all
I had a patron come in looking for a book she read, not sure if it was
fiction or non-fiction, that takes place during the civil war. Two
plantations are destroyed by the Union armies. On one plantation the
surviver is a black girl, on the other, a white girl. They pull together
in their grief and need and form a partnership and start working one of
the plantations together to survive ala Cold Mountain.

Anyone recognize this?
