The final book in the Carolina Cousins series by Michael Phillips, Miss Katies Rosewood, leaves the reader satisfied, albeit longing to visit these friends again, if only by re-reading the series.
Katie Claiborne and Mayme Daniels live contently at Rosewood. In the lull before harvest time they decide to travel north to visit Aunt Nelda and explore the possibility of attending a womans college. On the train Katie and Mayme are separated because whites and coloreds can not ride the same train car. Along with the whole car load of colored passengers, Mayme is kidnapped to be sold into slavery in the West Indies.
Rob Paxton, Katies friend and a deputy sheriff, comes to help find and rescue Mayme. But events get more complicated as Katies family is threatened by the local KKK. Racial tensions bring pressure upon this small family trying to forge a new life after the horrors of the Civil War.
Michael Phillips unknowingly describes his book perfectly when he writes, [This] story is a story of goodness emerging out of defeat, of hope flowing out of loss, of joy growing out of sorrow, and love blossoming out of despair (p. 220). Phillips writes that, All our stories ought to . . . help people learn about themselves and grow (p.131), a task expertly accomplished by Mr. Phillips. Vasthi Acosta, Christian Book Previews.com
