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.

So sad it's finished...

I loved the characters. They were a joy to get to know. The Civil War became more personal, and the Characters grew through the experience. The reader can make or break a story this one did not disappoint. I'm sure I will listen to this again
