Fire by Night (Refiner's Fire, 2)

Rating:
Summary: Awesome!!
Review: Though I enjoyed the first book in this series, "Candle in the Darkness," book 2, "Fire by Night," is even better. It is told from the perspectives of two women: one being the spoiled, selfish and weathly Julia Hoffman who desperately wants to change her ways in order to earn the favor of a handsome reverend, the other, a dirt-poor, six-foot-tall farmer's daughter called Phoebe Bigelow who more than anything else wishes she were a man.

This book was flawless--I could not put it down. If you are someone who "enjoys books about girls who dress up like boys and join the army," then this book is for you!! It was also interesting to see Julia's journey from a spoiled brat to a kind, wise woman with a heart for caring for people. The most touching part of the story, however, is Dr. McGrath, a strange, moody doctor whom Julia knows hates her...or does he? In all, this book had beautiful character development.

Highly recommended.
