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.

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.

Just ok for me.

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!

I couldn't stop listening to this book!

THIS BOOK HELP ME TO EXPERIENCE SO MANY LEVELS OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP. NEVER THUS FAR HAS A BOOK FILLED ME WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AS THIS ONE HAS DONE. EVEN AS I TYPE THIS TEARS FILL MY EYES. ONE CHARACTER IN PARTICULAR QUOTES FROM THE BIBLE AS HE TAUGHT AND OFFER GUIDANCE TO THE MAIN CHARACTER HAD ME PRAISING GOD LIKE I WAS IN CHURCH. THE BASIS OF THIS STORY BLEW ME AWAY BUT IT FILLED ME WITH SOOOO MUCH MORE. THE SPEECH AT THE END BY THE LAST PERSON I EXPECTED IT FROM MADE MY HEART CRY AND TEARS FLOW. IT WASNT SAD BUT THATS ALL IM SAYING. PLEASE ORDER THIS BOOK YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. OH SND BE PATIENT ITS STARTS A LIL SLOW BUT ITS WELL WORTH IT. ENJOY!

I haven't checked all the historical accuracy but Lynn Austin made me believe I was a resident of Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War. Austin also made me want to know more.

Christina Moore gave an outstanding performance.

Awesome Story

The story brought me to tears, it touched my heart and warmed my soul. Lynn Austin is an excellent author. she is wonderful at painting the picture. This book is about faith, love, and human perseverance during some of the darkest times in US history. The narrator was excellent. I highly recommend reading this book or listening to this book. I actually own all of the books from this series in paper back however I wanted to hear the story from someone else and Christina Moore did not disappoint.

Great Story, Narrated wonderfully!
