About this eBook

"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.

Ratings and reviews

The third in the series. I have to admit I was torn about reading the third book but I thought since it was primarily told from the slaves point of view during the civil war it would add a dimension to the series. There was too much repetition and statements of how many soldiers died with little of the detail that would make this series 5 stars.

As with the previous 5 books by Lynn Austin I have read, the characters are so real, with depth and complexities I feel as if I have known some of them! The plot with unexpected twists and turns is seldom predictable and always riveting. The author manages to convey graphic injuries without making a horror movie out of it. I have found a new favorite author!

The 3rd in the trilogy...read all 3 and loved them all...
