The Light Shines Through - Paperback

by Janet Joanou Weiner (Author)

An unyielding faith collides with a reign of persecution.

After a fearful Huguenot's fragile world collapses at her parents' arrest, will her unfurling destiny fulfill their legacy of defiance?

When soldiers arrest Suzanne Lacombe's parents during a forbidden Protestant gathering, her hope of living in peace shatters. Now she shoulders much of the responsibility for keeping her family safe.

With her brother determined to join the rising resistance against King Louis XIV, the family's daily life quavers on a razor's edge. Governor Bâville and the ruthless priest who serves as his right-hand man are increasing pressure on the Huguenots--more arrests, more imprisonments, and more executions.

Adding to the danger is a prophetic gift Suzanne didn't ask for and isn't sure she wants. Being an inspirée, one of many Huguenot youths touched by an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, brands her as a heretic and an enemy of the Crown.

Can Suzanne overcome her fears and accept a destiny fitting for her time?
