Fire by Night

By: Lynn Austin

Narrated by: 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.

Critic reviews

"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.

loved it

The story was excellent, the narrator was very good! loved it. It was quite enlightening.

great story

I couldn't stop listening. Lynn Austin never disappoints. God's purpose for life simply explained according to scripture in the midst of suffering and sorrow.

AMAZING!!!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

Everything from the storylines in the book, down to the narrator had me absolutely captivated! I read all 3 of the books in the series and I thought this storyline was going to be my least favorite, but now I am not so sure! The book does seem to start out a bit slow, but after a few chapters, you're hooked. I love how you don't see the ending coming. usually I can kind of tell how a book is going to end, but this author does a phenomenal job of leaving the reader wondering and excited for more!

I also LOVE the fact that the author incorporates good Christian values and lessons on faith in every book of this series.

I could read this book over and over again!! I would love seeing this book turned into a movie!!
