View from the Attic

Rose #2

by Nan Turner

"View from the Attic," the second book in the "Rose Series" picks up the struggle to determine who is the rightful heir to the Keller estate. In the meantime Rose continues to encounter the prejudices of race through the spokesman of her classmate, Carl Cutlipp. Rose deals with Carl's illness, another trip to Bridgetown in the search for her birth parents and a birthday gift which brings sadness and adventure. Aunt Margaret and James are married in a spring ceremony. A strange woman dressed in a blue suit shows up; she turns out to be Rose's "Granny Esther." The newlyweds leave on their honeymoon to the Smoky Mountains --with Rose in tow. Their effort to keep her from Esther turns out to be a comedy of errors with a cast of mountain characters. The remainder of the story recounts the finality of the 'rightful heir story' and the move to the Keller mansion.
