"You don't have to go with Missy Claire. She can't make you go with her."
Kitty, a house slave, has always obeyed Missy Claire and followed orders. But when word arrives that the Yankees are coming, Kitty is faced with a decision. Will she continue serving Missy Claire and her household? Or will she listen to Grady and embrace this chance for freedom?
Even wise Delia says Kitty has to decide for herself—that nobody except the Lord can tell her which way to go.
Kitty has always lived in a world where authority is not questioned. She never has learned to make up her own mind any more than she has learned to read or write.
But now Kitty has a daunting choice: How does she want her story to end?
In her bestselling tradition, Lynn Austin brings the Civil War years to life in the Refiner's Fire trilogy.

      "A Light to My Path" is a standalone follow-up to "Candle in the Darkness" and "Fire by Night" in Austin's -Refiner's Fire - series, with alternating points of view between two characters. Anna, nicknamed Kitty, grows up as a slave companion to Missy Claire, the daughter of a plantation owner, and Grady is a young light-skinned slave torn from his parents at an early age. The tale focuses on their love, pain, sorrow, degradation, and humiliation. Lacking knowledge of any other way of life, Anna solemnly accepts her ill-treatment and exploitation, while Grady, filled with hatred and rage, longs for freedom. When Grady and Anna eventually have the chance to run away to join the Union Army, Anna is paralyzed by her fear of the unknown and remains at the plantation believing she will not face hardship or punishment. Read by Christina Moore, this compelling story of slavery in South Carolina from 1849 through the Civil War is recommended for historical Christian fiction collections." -Carol Stern, Glen Cove P.L., NY"
