About the Book
Will Faith Perish in the Big Top’s Flames?
Introducing a new series of 6 exciting novels featuring historic disasters that transformed landscapes and multiple lives. Whether by nature or by man, these disasters changed history and were a day to be remembered.
Evelyn Benson’s husband perished in the Bataan Death March but not her faith. The World War II Gold Star widow is taken in by her brother and soothed by the love of his wife and children. Evelyn refuses to cower to grief. She may not understand God’s mysterious ways, but she has never questioned Him—until the circus fire.
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus train chugs into Hartford, Connecticut, on a sweltering day one month after the Allies invaded Normandy. Among the roustabouts is a reluctant clown, Hank Webb. He may hide from his murky past behind grease paint as Fraidy Freddie, but God wants to offer Hank a chance to be found. Though first, what little Hank believes about God will endure a fiery trial.
On Thursday, July 6, 1944, a devasting blaze of unknown origins consumes the circus tent along with Evelyn’s hopes and Hank’s anonymity.

Review of When the Flames Ravaged
I had heard a lot about this book before I picked it up and wow, is all I can say. To be able to write about an event like this in history, one so full of sorrow and fear, and to do it in such a way I felt as though I was there, living every second, breathing in the smoke and watching the flames, wow! This author took a very tough subject and brought it to life. I don’t like reading history books, but I love learning about history through fiction and this author nailed it. I feel as though I learned so much while taking this adventure back into the past.
I was given this book as a complimentary copy but was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
Thanks for connecting today.
