Publisher's Summary

Winner of the 2001 Christy Award, Lynn Austin captures the turmoil of the Civil War in this stirring novel. From vast plantations to the cramped closets of the Underground Railroad, it follows one young woman's inspiring journey of risk and sacrifice.

Caroline Fletcher, the daughter of a wealthy family in Richmond, has never questioned her father's right to own slaves. But after a lengthy visit to her uncle's home in Boston, she learns of the abolitionist movement. Now, knowing that slavery is against God's will, she must risk betraying the people she loves to obey her convictions.

Compelling characters and the searing conflicts between North and South create a vivid canvas for Caroline's struggle to make the right decisions. Through Christina Moore's hearfelt narration, Candle in the Darkness burns even brighter.

Wow, what an amazing story!

I have loved this story, the perspective of the war, and the connection that God’s purposes will always prevail, and He is ever present in our lives if we have faith and trust in Him…despite all other pressures or influences in our lives! Thank you Lynn Austin!!

Loved it!!!

This story was incredible! It taught true history about what slaves went through before the civil war. Even though some of it was hard to listen to it was written in a way wear you didn’t just look at it as a fact, but you could see how it played out in someone’s life. You could see how God worked in each area of the characters lives. I really enjoyed listening and will defiantly listen to it again!
