Daylight Comes by Judith Miller is the third book in the Freedom's Path series.
Truth Wyman and husband Moses live in Nicodemus, Kansas in the late 1800s and embark on a life-changing adventure when Moses is elected as the first black man to run for the state auditor's position. While others around her see this as an incredible opportunity for the couple, Truth sees Moses' plans for the future as a curse. Winning the position would mean leaving Nicodemus and moving to Topeka, leaving behind the family and home that she loves most.
Truth doesn't think change is good and so she tries to manipulate those who are most precious to her, in order to avoid accepting the move to Topeka, Kansas to join Moses. As Truth struggles, we are introduced to the Boyle family, Jeb Malone, meddlesome but loveable Aunt Lilly, and Camille Faraday, whose family moves to town to open a new pharmacy while trying to hide her father's gambling addiction.
Daylight Comes is a heartwarming story about hard-working, dedicated, family-oriented, loveable Christians who are fallible. The author has done an excellent job weaving one of God's best lessons for our lives, which is, we reap what we sow. If we choose malice to hurt another, it inevitably comes back to hurt us. If instead we pour love into another's life, then we allow that person to see God's love for them, through us.
This is a good read that is filled with unforgettable characters, God's word woven throughout and a book that's steep in a historical background.
Armchair Interviews says: Positively recommending Daylight Comes by Judith Miller.
