The Flame Burns Brightly (Light In The Darkness Book 2) Kindle Edition

3.9 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

The Crimean War fought and won Samuel has now gone to Persia to fight with the army and Joanna is left alone after just three months of marriage. Miserable and frustrated she faces a bleak Christmas. That is, until two small children are orphaned when the baby's mother dies in childbirth. Horace, the five year old, has seen more than he should have in his little life with parents who drank themselves to death and who had abused him. Joanna takes them in. It is a temporary arrangement, she says, and does not realise how it will turn her life totally upside down.
In the meantime Samuel fights a grim war in Persia with little hope of surviving, missing Joanna and in circumstances even worse than the Crimean War. He is desperate to get back home in one piece and particularly when he is suddenly given the responsibility of something he had never envisaged.
This story follows the adventures of Joanna and Samuel who in the first book fell in love in the midst of war. Now their wars are different but just as real.

From an early age I loved to write. Stories. In diaries. Studies on different subjects. Anything. Now I write for a living and still enjoy doing so, particularly as it takes me round the world and involves interesting research.

I also write Christian historical western romances under the name of Sylvia Damsell and Christian novels and Bible commentaries using the name of Sylvia Wheatley.

    Samuel goes off to war in Persia. Joanna stays home in England. I like how the book alternated back and forth between their lives. I like all the main characters. Some of the events and dialogue are very witty.

    What I don't like is the author's writing style which is sometime choppy and the editing. "Justin" and "Jasper" get mixed up and sometimes sentences don't end and thoughts gets jumbled within paragraphs.

    However I had to read the book to celebrate Samuel and Joanna's quirky life together. You should too.

    Love, loyalty, and courage shine through the characters in this sequel to The Lamp Burns Brightly. I loved how caring the main characters were and how steadfast and real their love was. The entire novel was so well written. The vulnerability and resiliency of the children in this novel touched my heart. The interactions between people were so true to life and all the historical details were so engaging but never overpowered the heart of the story. Highly recommended.
