Fire by Night by Lynn Austin

Synopsis:

This is a fiction book and the second book in the Civil War Series about Julia Hoffman, a Northern woman during the Civil War who sacrificed her family’s riches in order to be a nurse, and also Phoebe Bigelow, another Northern woman who disguised herself as a man in order to fight in the war.

Review:

I loved this book and loved both Phoebe and Julia and especially Julia and how bold and outspoken and kindhearted she was and also loved the romance between Julia and Dr. James McGrath.

“By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light.”

“The only way we can love the way God wants us to is when the Holy Spirit loves through us, when we give up control of our lives to him.”

“God gave the Israelites fire by night to keep them from despair.”
