Charlotte's Tree : 9780595305506 : 21 Dec 2003 : Even the "papers" carefully wrapped in oiled parchment and carried as proof of status--freedom or "owned"--are not protection enough from abductions, murder, rape and mutilation. As Charlotte matures and emerges as the most capable midwife in the area, she marries a preacher and raises children of her own. But life in the backwaters of central Mississippi is changed forever by the events of the civil War and its aftermath. In the final scene of book one, an aging Charlotte and her young grandson are driving a battered buckboard back to Charlotte's old home where she plans to spend her final days.
