A Compelling Historical Saga Spanning Continents and GenerationsThis powerful new historical fiction series begins in Ireland during the early 1700's with young Abram White. Amid circumstances determined by birth with poverty, disease and starvation lurking around every corner news of the New World comes to Abram like a distant beckoning light.The best, the worst, of human nature is brought to life in First Light. Portraying harrowing escapes, heart-stopping adventure and love's flame ignited only to be snuffed out again, Fickett spins an eighteenth-century tale of a runaway's dreams, exploits at sea, and two families' triumph over tragedy and trauma. Ultimately, First Light is the story of every man and every woman catching glimpses of themselves from a divine perspective."This skilled fusing of story and history is a tour de force, a compelling overview of some of God's ways of shaping destiny."
