Shenandoah Sisters brings Michael Phillips’s historical fiction to the American Civil War era. The four novels follow two young women from different racial backgrounds who build a friendship amid the chaos of war and its aftermath. Published between 2003 and 2004, the series addresses race, justice, and faith in a period when all three were being tested in American society.

The series connects to Phillips’s Carolina Cousins and American Dreams books, forming a larger fictional universe set in the nineteenth-century South. Angels Watching Over Me opens the story, and Together Is All We Need brings the sisters’ initial journey to a close.
