About this listen

Michael Phillips is one of today's most popular Christian authors. He has written more than four dozen novels, with over five million copies in print. Angels Watching Over Me is the first book in a stirring saga that follows two women, one black, one white, in the aftermath of the Civil War.

Before the war, Rosewood Plantation is large and prosperous. During the war years, women and slaves struggle to keep it running. But in the bloody days following the Northern victory, a marauding band of Union soldiers ravages Rosewood. Katie, the master's young daughter, and Mayme, a slave girl, are the only survivors of the carnage. Now the two have only each other, and their shared faith in God, to rely on.

As their friendship grows, so does their conviction that God is directing them to work together. Michael Phillips' flair for creating engaging characters and narrator Susan Spain's thoughtful reading are a perfect match.

It starts off believable. But for two girls, regardless of their color, to run an entire plantation and keep up the pretense the parents are still alive - is not believable or realistic. Maybe if I hadn’t already listened to so many of Lynn Austin‘s historical stories sat in the same time period I wouldn’t have been so disappointed with this story.

Rather Disappointing

Amazing story about the devastation in the wake of the Civil War. History
made real by this heartfelt story.
Perhaps there is another book to follow because this first book
does not seem to have an ending.

I started this book with not a little trepidation. I love Michael Phillips, but this seems so different from other things he has written, wondering if I would find a story about two women in the 1800’s South interesting. Boy, cannot wait to the next one!

Wonderfully engaging

I loved this book. I enjoy stories that take place during the civil war. This was a good one. Finally a story that has a happy ending during that time. About time.

Loved it !!

There is an astounding depth to the human spirit portrayed through these two young women. Their growing connection to God is profound as they build upon their simple faith recognizing God is watching over them in angelic ways.

Life is a struggle and sometimes we only have God himself to pull us through, but then, sometimes He sends another person! Very interesting story.

We listened to this on a long trip, it was great. The reader was excellent, and the story was as well, the only disappointment was that it ended, and we were expecting a bit more.

I enjoyed listening to this book. I agree with the other reviewer that it was excellent but now I am left hanging to figure out what happens next. This book was written in 2005 -- when are the others coming. It is now 2010. Had I researched before buying, I probably wouldn't have purchased a volume 1 w/o news of when 2 would be available.
