night lights
all other nights
how is tonight different from all other nights for jacob rappaport a jewish soldier in the union army it is a question his commanders have answered for him on passover in 1862 he is ordered to murder his own uncle who is plotting to assassinate president lincoln.after that night will jacob ever speak for himself the answer comes when his commanders send him on another mission this time not to murder a spy but to marry one.a compelling novel rich with romance and the history of america north and south this is a book only dara horn could have written . full of insight and surprise layered with meaning it is a brilliant parable of the moral divide that still haunts us between those who value family first and those who are dedicated at any cost to social and racial justice for all .
