Audrey's Reviews > A Light to My Path

It was just about impossible to put this book down. The first book in the series was about a southern woman during the Civil War. The second one was about a northern woman. This one was from a slave's perspective, and I love how all three books were tied together.

Grady and Kitty, aka Anna, were two slaves who were very different but still loved each other. Grady was seething with anger and bitterness towards his white oppressors. Kitty meekly accepted the abuse from her mistress. This made Grady angry, and his anger made his wife afraid. When the Union army arrived near their plantation, Grady high-tailed it out of there and eventually joined forces with them. Anna was too afraid to leave and stayed behind. However, when her mistress threatened to get rid of her baby, Anna finally understood her husband's anger and hatred towards the whites.

It was an exciting day when Grady's troops were finally able to free Anna and her fellow slaves. Most importantly, Grady and Anna were eventually freed in Christ. Gradually, Grady learned that not all white people were evil. That realization showed him that Jesus came to set him free. Anna learned that in Jesus, she had self-worth. She was as precious in His eyes as any white woman. I loved how the author portrayed character growth in these two individuals' lives.
