Father had promised to return in the spring...

In the wake of tragedy, Jane and her little sister find themselves abandoned to the mercy of strangers on the vast, unforgiving Iowan prairie. Their father, a carpenter, has traveled hundreds of miles away to build homes. However, his continuous delays and unfulfilled promises condemn his daughters to endure famine and neglect under the care of their trusted guardians.

After Father's eventual return, with his promises still unkept, Jane marries a man against her father's wishes and forever alters the course of her life. But her indomitable spirit and the close bond she shares with her sister is stronger than any trials thrust upon them. When all hope seems lost, Jane turns to God’s light to guide her through the darkest of times. It is her vivid dreams and faith that sustain her, propelling her on a path toward Zion.

Set in pioneer-era Iowa between 1848 through 1861, Light in the Darkness is an invitation to explore the depths of resilience, the complexities of the human condition, and the enduring power of love and family. Join Jane as she embarks on a quest for a brighter future, guided by the light of the gospel and the strength found within. With rich historical detail and compelling character-driven narrative, this novel is a profound exploration of the struggles and triumphs that shape us.
