Great book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Book was so full of life that I could hardly put it down! I went to bed late a few nights, just because of the suspense the story held. I plan to listen to this book again in the future. I would recommend it to my friends. You will not regret making this purchase! Lynn Austin is such a committed Christian writer- I have always been blessed by her stories. The

another American story

but a good one I liked her characters and she had me guessing til two thirds through. the end became predictable by the last third and was very satisfying

Fire by Night

Amazing, Captivating and a must listen! This is the second book in a trilogy that takes place during the civil war. Lynn Austin is by far my favorite author and is a genius with her ability to write Christian, historical fiction. This story is about two women from different backgrounds who go to on to experience the insanity of war. One as a nurse and one as a soldier (dressed as a man). I felt compelled to listen. Very entertaining and educational. Candle in the Darkness is the first book in the trilogy , but the stories are independent enough that you could start with book two. My favorite Lynn Austin book is still Wonderland Creek but I think this would be a close second. Jennifer

Love it all!

My new favorite author and by far my favorite narrator!

Lynn Austin is my new favorite author but Christina Moore is such a WONDERFUL narrator!! Love it!

Kept my interest up to the very end!

Enjoyed this read very much! Lynn Austin is an excellent author. Can hardly wait to begin another one of her books.

Amazing story with passionate narration

I enjoyed every part of this book; it clearly portrays the love of our Heavenly Father passionately displayed in the day to day lives of families caught in the battle of the Civil War, family expectations and norms.

Loved this book!

Historical fiction at its finest. The characters were interesting with new developments along the way. The end was predictable but ended in a good way. One of the best selections I have read.

Didn't want it to end

The first book I cried because it finished. I want to keep hearing about their lives. I came to love all the characters so much, I'm sad they won't be in my life... at least, until I listen again.
