tragic death. What will Katie, Mayme, Emma, Aleta, and Josepha do when Uncle Templeton leaves temporarily to face up to the consequences of his earlier years, and Katie's Uncle Burchard Clairborne appears unexpectedly to make his claim upon Rosewood Plantation? Uncle Burchard will let Katie live there, but insists that her four friends and Emma's young son William will have to leave. During the sixty days that are required for him to make a legal claim, the girls do all they can to try to find Uncle Templeton, while their friends Henry and Jeremiah assist them in any way they can. The unexpected arrival of Katie's presumed-dead Uncle Ward Daniels produces the true deed to the plantation, which is owned by Uncle Ward. A reluctant Ward would like to just sign the deed over to Katie, but realizes that she has no legal standing. He helps her locate her Uncle Templeton, and together the group of orphans and misfits forge a family. While this whole series seems an unlikely scenario in the post Civil War South, it nevertheless was a feel good set of stories that breathes redemption through and through. I found each book compelling and all four were very quick reads. Show Less
