More About This Book

Overview

Refiner's Fire book 3 Kitty, a house slave, always figured it was easiest to do what she'd always done--obey Missy and follow orders. But when word arrives that the Yankees are coming, Kitty is faced with a decision: will she continue to follow the bidding of her owners, or will she embrace this chance for freedom? Never allowed to have ideas of her own, Kitty is overwhelmed by the magnitude of her decision. Yet it is her hope to find the "happy ever after" ending to her life--and to follow Grady, whom she loves--that is the driving force behind her choice. Where will it lead her?

Library Journal
The child of runaway slaves who were tracked down and killed by white men in South Carolina, Anna is alone in the world. She grows up in complete servitude as the "pet" of Claire, her master's daughter, who changes Anna's name to Kitty and allows her to live in the main house. Grady is torn from his mother's arms and sold as a slave far from his family. When Grady meets Anna, he encourages her to think for herself. Soon, word reaches them that the Yankees are coming, and Anna must decide whether to run for freedom and a life with Grady or to continue serving and protecting the master's family. The first two books in Austin's "Refiner's Fire" series (Candle in the Darkness and Fire by Night) won Christy Awards, and this newest title is also outstanding, with heart-wrenching descriptions of the indignities of slavery. Highly recommended. Austin lives near Chicago. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    Wonderful!!! Heartwarming!!!

    This book was a surprise. As an African American I have always avoided books about slavery. The thought that if I would have been born 148 years earlier that could have been me. I can not even watch movies about slavery because the pain and hardships my ancesters endured is hardbreaking but this book captured me. The series started out with the civil war through the eyes of the confederates, next through the eyes of the union and finally the eyes of the slaves. Powerful! It also made it clear why the slaves survived and the union won......it was because God was in charge. Bravo on a job well done. It also showed that God's love is colorblind.

    Amazing Addition to an amazing series

    I've read alot of Civil War novels and I have to say that this is one of my favorites. I read it along with a couple of friends of mine who HATE reading with a passion and they couldn't put it down. The characters are wonderfully developed and you feel their pain and their joy throughout the different challenges they face. Also, I like the way the characters in the other books were incorporated and the main character replays some of the same events just from a totally different point of view. Great Read!!! I recommend it to anyone who loves historical fiction.

    I cried so many times

    This is the second book I have read for pleasure out of the civil war era. The book is very touching and is an overall easy read so I didnt get discouraged from reading it. You fall in love with the bravery portrayed and the silver lining throughout the book. I borrowed this book from the library and I liked it so much I will be purchasing it for my personal collection. Seriously, get this book!!!

    Excellent Book

    I thought this book was wonderful. It is really an eye opener.It really puts you in Kitty's place. A friend and I read this book together and we both cried more than any book has ever made us cry. Anyone who has racial issues should really read this book. It will really put things into perspective.

    A character driven tale

    In 1862 South Carolina, Confederate soldiers warn Missy Claire that 6000 Yanks are marching towards her Plantation and arming slaves. Missy is angry and panicking as she orders her slaves but talks down to them as if they are cattle or pets, which is how she sees them. Field slave Grady informs house slave Kitty that he plans to run away and would like her, the woman he loves, to come with him to freedom. Kitty hesitates as she has lost the ability to make decisions having spent her life having her massahs tell her what to do........................ As Kitty struggles whether to run off with Grady or stay with Missy, she reflects back to the early 1850s when she as a child met her young mistress. Kitty, called Anna, back then, had some kittens that Missy wanted, but her mother said no that anything owned by a darkie is diseased. So Missy tells her mom that she wants the darkie as her kitty. Since then Kitty has always done whatever her owner tells her to do, but now with war everywhere can Anna be resurrected from the dead?..................... This deep look at the lives of slaves and to a lesser degree their owners in the decade just before and during the Civil War is an insightful historical tale. Readers will be stunned by the incredible characterizations inside of a world turned upside down for so many people. The story line rotates between Anna-Kitty and Grady, but fans observe how others in their circle read. Fans of the Antebellum South will want to read the latest Refiner¿s Fire tale as Lyn Austin hits on all cylinders with a fantastic novel...................... Harriet Klausner
