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?
"A gripping tale told by a gifted writer."—Beverly Lewis

      Set in Virginia during the Civil War, Candle in the Darkness is a story of faith and love. Caroline Fletcher grew up wealthy and pampered on a Southern plantation home with many slaves. Owing to her father's busy schedule and her mother's depression, which eventually led to her suicide, Caroline is reared by the family slaves, yet she is sickened by slavery and torn between supporting abolitionism and remaining loyal to her family and the South. Through the years, Caroline embarks on a dangerous journey of spying and conspiracy that examine her faith. Austin's historical novel, which is read by Christina Moore, is laced with love and romance; its heroine is a woman who learns to follow her conscience rather than social norms. Unfortunately, the characters could be better developed, and the plot is tedious; purchase for fans of the author.-Carol Stern, Glen Cove P.L., NY
