In the Carolina Cousins books, the follow-up series to the Shenandoah Sisters books, cousins and best friends Katie and Mayme are still together, but the early years of Reconstruction are hard for the girls. They face both the normal difficulties of growing up and the many troubles of their time. Throughout the series, the girls face adversity–often related to race–and new characters who arrive at Rosewood become part of the family. The themes of friendship, forgiveness, determination, and faith run throughout the books.

is there a 5th book in this series? and if so what is the title?
Miss Katie’s Rosewood is the conclusion to the Carolina Cousins series, so there is no book five. However, in addition to the Carolina Cousins and Shenandoah Sisters series, Mr. Phillips has written at least one other series of books set in the South around the time of the Civil War. I’m fairly certain that they are set in Virginia rather than North Carolina, but the American Dreams books start with Dream of Freedom.
