Candle in the Darkness

By: Lynn Austin

Narrated by: Christina Moore

Caroline Fletcher is caught in a nation split apart and torn between the ones she loves and a truth she can't deny

The daughter of a wealthy slave-holding family from Richmond, Virginia, Caroline Fletcher is raised to believe slavery is God-ordained and acceptable. But on awakening to its cruelty and injustice, her eyes are opened to the men and women who have cared tirelessly for her.

At the same time, her father and her fiancé, Charles St. John, are fighting for the Confederacy and their beloved way of life and traditions.

Where does Caroline's loyalty lie? Emboldened by her passion to make a difference and her growing faith, will she risk everything she holds dear?

What made the experience of listening to Candle in the Darkness the most enjoyable?

I would say, "I couldn't put this book down" but since it's an audible book I instead say, "I couldn't stop listening! It was fantastic and one of my favorite Lynn Austin books! Well done!

Just ok for me.

This was just ok for me, I read A light to My Path 1st, and I liked it a little bit better than this one. . They are both Christian based and very entertaining. I gave it four stars because it kept my interest.
I will watch out for more by this author.

An Eye-Opener that everyone should read!!!!!

All Stars for Candle in the Darkness!!!!
Excellent reading & characters are so alive! Civil War was awful & learned a lot of history I had forgotten. Ms. Austin never lets her readers down - wonderful book. I promise you will thoroughly enjoy every Chapter.

I couldn't stop listening to this book!

T have read this book through 3 times. I was just as captured by it the 3rd time as I had been the 1st time I read it. Lynn Austin pulls you in to every scene making you feel like a part of the story. As you meet the characters, one by one, they feel as though they are long time friends, I really enjoy all her books. She does a lot of research and uses correct details while telling the story. Her books are heart warming and always leave me wanting more!
