Let Me Fly

Former slave Rachel Mannheim and former slave owner Adelaide Kaltenbach fought a war to be sisters. Now that the Civil War is over, a new fight is just beginning. Adelaide, married to a Georgia cotton planter, never dreamed that she would side with the Union or the Freedmenâ€™s Bureau. In Cass County, just after the Civil War, sheâ€™s done both. Her school for the countyâ€™s black children has earned her the warm appreciation of Captain Lewis Hart, Union war hero and Bureau agent, and the animosity of her neighbors and former friends.Her half-sister Rachel, no longer Adelaideâ€™s slave, used to dream of being free. Free to marry. Free to make a living. Free to educate her daughter Eliza. But after emancipation, freedom remains elusiveâ€”and risky. When Rachel buys a hundred acres of cotton land, with the help of the Bureauâ€™s dashing black lawyer, Daniel Pereira, she becomes the target of the newly-formed Ku Klux Klan.As they struggle to rebuild their lives, can each sister find the courage to face violence and hatredâ€”and follow her heart to a new kind of freedom?Sequel to the Audie-Award winning novel Sister of Mine.
