About this listen

"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.

Critic reviews

"Heart-wrenching descriptions of the indignities of slavery. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
All stars
Most relevant
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

I found the way the slaves were treated horrendous! I felt that I was going through the torture with them. It was graphic and I imagine, also realistic. It makes one realise the huge inequality that existed then and in some ways, still does to this day.

Great research on the part of the author. An eye-opening novel. I recommend it.
