Description
With her stammering tongue and quiet ways, Cadence Piper has always struggled to be accepted. After the death of her mother, Cadence sets her heart on becoming a nurse, both to erase the stain her brother has left on the family's honor and to find long-sought approval in the eyes of her father. When Dorothea Dix turns her away due to her young age and pretty face, Cadence finds another way to serve ... singing to the soldiers in Judiciary Square Hospital. Only one stubborn doctor stands in her way. Joshua Ivy is an intense man with a compassionate heart for the hurting and downtrodden. The one thing he can't have is an idealistic woman destroying the plans he's so carefully laid. When the chaos of war thrusts Cadence into the middle of his clandestine activities, he must decide if the lives at stake, and his own heart, are worth the risk of letting Cadence inside. Everything changes when Joshua and Cadence unearth the workings of a secret society so vile, the course of their lives, and the war, could be altered forever. If they fight an enemy they cannot see, will the One who sees all show them the way in the darkest night?… (more)

What a great read, one you never want to put down, because you never see most of what happens coming!
The book is set during a horrible time in US history, the Civil War, and we are walking with the medical personnel, and see what now is the primitive procedures that were used on these injured men.
The author gives us a young woman, whom because she stutters, was told that she was a slow learner and would never achieve much, again primitive practices!
Then we are given a medical doctor, with such a big heart he risks everything to help free people in bondage. He also does more and fills his home.
Now you think what would these two would have nothing in common, but when we get to know Cadence, and her magical voice [through the author], and Joshua and his compassion, they are throned together during the horrors of war.
Setting for this story is Washington DC, and the wounded are brought to this city, and so are the people who want people to remain in bondage, and to be rid of those who would help them!
We know how things turn out, but this is an eye opener of how these brave souls fought to help others!

"But to have a purpose. To know your task and give your life to it with all your heart. There is nothing more noble or honorable.”
What a beautifully written novel with gritty and raw emotions set during a heart-breaking time in our nation. Once again, Tara Johnson creates an unforgettable
I loved Cadence, a multi-talented young woman, who is insecure about her place in the world and striving so hard to prove herself and earn her father's affection. Joshua, a physician passionate about abolition and providing a safe home for children, is a broody, emotional hero with a huge and tender heart who also is working hard to prove himself. Watching their work relationship turn into something more through a host of varying circumstances was absolutely delightful and how they complemented each other in and out of the hospital was heart-warming. Threats hover on every side as the war escalates and Joshua becomes a target; this subplot adds a thread of suspense to enrich a story already masterfully layered with devastation of war, beauty of faith and music, journey to knowing worthiness and tenderness of first love.

fictional world nestled in a very real historical world - this time in Washington DC at the beginning of Civil War - that will draw you in and not let go. The hatred, brokenness, hopelessness, misery, and unspeakable loss are so very vivid and tangible, as are desire to do justice and mercy, love for all mankind, and God's overwhelming grace and provision. I really enjoyed the medical and surgical aspects of the story that made me feel like I was right there on the battlefield, treating and ministering to the soldiers. Tara Johnson never disappoints with her well-researched and profound words; this book is a must-read historical fiction.I loved Cadence, a multi-talented young woman, who is insecure about her place in the world and striving so hard to prove herself and earn her father's affection.

If you are anything like me this story will make you cry. It shows how badly words and bad diagnoses can mess up a person for life. Both Cadence and Joshua were helping people for good and bad reasons. They each had lessons to learn. I loved the songs that were chosen throughout the story. I did

All Through the Night by Tara Johnson takes place in the 1860s in Washington DC. Cadence wants to help at the hospital and is turned away because she is to young and pretty. Instead she brings joy to others by singing to the soldiers. When Dr. Ivy sees this he is upset and he asks her to help him
Joshua Ivy has a secret life outside of the hospital trying to save people who are being sold by auction. This makes others mad and he and as his family’s life are at risk.
I really enjoy stories set during the Civil War time. This story is well written with strong caring characters. I enjoyed this story with the importance of music both both the giver and the receiver. I enjoyed how Cadence kept searching for ways to help the soldiers and the fact she would get her father’s permission to help. I like the additional information at the end of the story of the person Cadence’s character is based on. I also enjoy the background information on Fancy Crosby and songs of that time.

Tara Johnson is a powerful storyteller! I was immediately drawn into the book from the first page and found myself invested in the characters and their relationship throughout the story. I really liked the timeline of the novel and how the characters had lots of instances to realistically develop

their relationship over a reasonable length of time. Their struggles and spiritual journeys were relatable and genuine. The author’s descriptions of the history, the scenery, and the interactions of the characters were all very well written and made it easy to envision the story unfolding. I appreciated the author’s research and the fact that the characters were loosely based on real people and events. There are several secrets and surprises as well that made the plot interesting and not at all predictable. This is the type of story that stays with you after you close the last page. I really enjoyed this novel and I highly recommend it!I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
