The Characters Make This Story Even Better:
Caroline Fletcher was brought up in a family and a state that believed slavery was a biblically-tolerant designation. In her world, the slaves were more like members of her family. She loved them unconditionally and received that same type of love in return. In some instances, they were more like kin to her than her own parents. Caroline's world was shattered, however, when one morning her best friend, the son of her mammy, was dragged away kicking and screaming to the slave auction as his mother and the others watched in helpless abandon. Following this horrible experience, Caroline was forced to re-examine everything she had previously taken for granted. What she saw, especially upon visiting "slave row" on her aunt and uncle's estate, was beyond her imagining. Unable to ignore what she now viewed as a deplorable existence, Caroline found herself becoming a firm believer of the abolitionist movement. Through years of personal turmoil and a raging war between the states, she was able to always keep hold of her faith and let God guide her way thanks to the wise words of her good friend and confidante, Eli...It's not our will be done, it's Thy will be done.

A wonderfully written book:
I am now in the process of reading this book for the second time, and it is just as good as it was the first time. I find it hard to put it down. I've always been facinated with reading fiction about the Civil War and this was definitely one of the best!

A wonderful book that will touch your heart!!!!!!!!!!:
I loved reading this book. I could not make myself put it down. It is a story about faith and love. It will make you laugh and make you cry. It reminds the readers that we are not so different after all. This is one of the best books I have ever read. I would urge all of you to read it. You will simply fall in love with it!

A Great Book!:
This is a wonderful book! Beautifully written, it allows you to experiance Caroline Fletchers's life. This book is very real life...not like some christian fiction where it is so "pollyana-ish" that it doesn't seem real. Candle in the Darkness is a book you cannot put down until you finish it! Even thought this book is writte from Caroline's point of view, you are able to look at the entire situation. This is book makes Lori Wick's fiction look very...juvenile. I recoment this book to everyone!
