Fire by Night

De: Lynn Austin

Narrado por: Christina Moore

Two young women in a land shattered by war test the limits of their strength

Lovely Julia Hoffman has always enjoyed the carefree life of her well-to-do Philadelphia family. But when she fails to attract the attention of Nathaniel Greene, a fierce abolitionist, she shocks her family by becoming a Union nurse.

Will that be enough to win Nathaniel's heart?

Phoebe Bigelow, from western Virginia, has always been a misfit, and when her brothers join the Union army, she also enlists—under false pretenses.

Soon, both have their eyes opened to the realities of war and suffering. Neither is quite ready for the demands of her new life, but their journeys of sacrifice and love are sure to change them in unexpected ways.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Refreshing, atypical heroines in absorbing parallel plots." (Library Journal)

A Wonderful follow up to Candle in the Darkness

I loved this book from beginning to end as the characters grew and their outlook changed over time. The main character begins as a selfish & spoiled northern young woman who begins going to abolitionist meetings only because the man she has her eye on believes slavery must stop. Although she begins her journey for selfish motives, as she gets involved , her heart is won over by the cause. She also learns she needs to put her life into the care of a God who loves all people no matter what differences may separate us on earth.
