Hi, all. I just submitted FIRE BY NIGHT by Lynn Austin, courtesy of Lissi. It took me forever to get around to doing this, but once I started, I couldn't put it down. I read it completely through, so it should be quite easy for whoever finds this topic interesting. I loved it. Anyway, the book jacket and front and back flaps are pasted below to give you an idea of what the book is about. One DECEIVED by a life of wealth and ease, the other DESPERATE to flee her true identity. In a land SHATTERED by war, unlikely heroes test the limits of their strength and discover that LOVE has a meaning far beyond their imagination. In this thrilling historical novel, Christy Award-winning author Lynn Austin weaves together the stories of two very different Northern girls whose hearts and lives are changed forever by the Civil War. Beautiful Julia Hoffman has always lived a carefree life. When she discovers that the man she's had her eye on thinks she's spoiled, she's determined to prove him wrong. She defies her family and becomes a Union nurse, spending her days helping suffering soldiers get well-and finding healing for her own heart. Meanwhile, Phoebe's three brothers have enlisted in the Army and left her behind to work for cruel Mrs. Haggerty-even though she's the best shot of the bunch. Tall and strong, Phoebe would rather fight. So she leaves under cover of night, cuts her hair and joins the army under false pretenses. In disguise, she finally feels free to be herself and discovers that she is worthy of love and friendship. But will she ever see herself the way her Heavenly Father does?
