In this 3rd book of the Shenandoah Sisters series--The Color of Your Skin Ain't the Color of Your Heart by Michael Phillips, Katie and Mayme continue to fight to save the plantation with the help of Henry and his son, Jeremiah. Mayme gets a big surprise and Katie is thrilled to see her Uncle Templeton again and find the gold that was hidden in her house. Will it be enough to pay off the loan on the plantation? Will the bad men steal it from her? How many more will find out her secret that her parents have died and what will happen to the four girls living on their own? This book has more surprises pop up, more action and some humor too. I enjoyed this one too and look forward to finding out what happens next in the last book of this series. (Karen's review)
The third book in the Shenandoah Sisters series lived up to my expectations!In this book, the same characters that I loved in the first two books are back, with some of them taking a more important role in the story. The new challenges and dangers the girls face are always interesting. I love how the story evolves. In fact, I feel like this series is just liked one long novel that has been cut into four books. I also really like how the characters grow in the story, and how the author incorporates just the right amount of faith and prayer in his books. Definitely making it to my favorites shelf! ;)And with the book ending on a cliffhanger, I'm really eager to read the conclusion of the series!
In the third installment of the Shenandoah Sisters series, the morals are less subtle and so are the plot twists. For the first time in the three books, I didn't doubt that things would work out because the message of God taking care of good people is very very clear. As Kathleen and Mayme pray about big decisions and feel tremendous guilt over the smallest of discourtesies, the reader knows that God will provide for them.The twist at the end of this book isn't one that I predicted right away, but it too comes on strong in a saccharine way.
