Steph's Favorite Books, Edition 3

Historical Fiction


1. Refiner's Fire series by Lynn Austin
A Civil War trilogy that I really enjoyed. The first one is set in Richmond!

2. Dakota Moon series by Stephanie Grace Whitson
These books chronicle the lives of missionaries in the Dakota territory and the Indians they encounter there. I found it fascinating, as this was a topic I didn't know much about. I believe these are out of print but they can possibly be found in libraries and from used booksellers.

3. Until We Reach Home by Lynn Austin
Three Swedish sister immigrate to Chicago in 1897. A moving look at what life was like for those coming to America.

4. Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers
These powerful books look at the persecution of Christians in Rome in the first century.

6. A Woman's Place by Lynn Austin
Four women work together in a factory during World War 2, each have their own issues to deal with.
