About this listen

 Raised on a South Carolina plantation as the house pet of her white master's daughter, Kitty never made a decision for herself. Now, as a young adult, she must preserve her faith while making the biggest decision ever: stay with her master and go south to avoid the Yankees or run away tonight to the North with Grady, the field slave she has come to love.

Renowned author Lynn Austin has received three Christy Awards for historical fiction, two for the first books in this Refiner's Fire series.

A great listen although sometimes upsetting and difficult due to the subject matter. It fundamentally is a story about love friendship and forgiveness.

Emotional, heart ranching listen. Narrator was easy to listen to and great at depicting different characters. Highly recommend if you don’t mind a story that makes you cry

Great listen

Gives a good perspective of what it must have been like to live as slaves from the viewpoint of different slaves. This book has it all:hatred, resentment, anger, dehumanisation, murder, faith, love, mercy and forgiveness.

I defy anyone to remain racist after reading this
