A Slave of the Shadows / Naomi Finley


In 1850 Charleston, South Carolina, brutality and cruelty simmer just under the genteel surface of Southern society. Beautiful and headstrong Willow Hendricks lives in an era where ladies are considered nothing more than property. 
Her father rules her life, filling it with turmoil, secrets, and lies. She finds a kindred spirit in spunky, outspoken Whitney Barry, a northerner from Boston. Together these Charleston belles are driven to take control of their own lives as they are plunged into fear and chaos on their quest to fight for the rights of slaves. Against all odds, these feisty women fight to secure freedom and equality for those made powerless and persecuted by a supposedly superior race.
Only when they've lost it all do they find a new beginning.
Book 1 presents Willow and Whitney--and the reader--with the hardships the slaves endure at the hands of their white masters.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

"Oh my stars, this book. I've hit the jackpot in HistFics! A Slave of the Shadows is absolutely breathtaking."--Pursuing Stacie

"Naomi Finley has skillfully crafted an epic story of oppression and obsession set in the Deep South...This is absolutely a book that has to be read if possible in one sitting because it is impossible to put down. Each chapter leaves the reader hanging, and consistent reading is compelling. An amazing book...can't wait for the sequel. "--Readers' Favorite

"Finley writes in a finely wrought prose style that vividly conjures even the most mundane details of the period...She shows herself to be an adept storyteller, and paints Willow as an admirable, compelling protagonist. The book has all the secrecy, romance, and plot twists that one could hope for in a historical melodrama, but the author also adds a pleasing dash of progressive politics and feminism that gives the work a higher purpose. Those looking for a less-problematic alternative to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind could do worse than this novel, which feels surprisingly relevant to the current historical moment. 
A pleasant costume drama with a focus on liberation."--Kirkus Reviews

You guys! This book. It's. Wow. There's adventure, history, twists, turns and everything you could possibly want. This is a truly amazing novel. I absolutely love how well researched this is. As a history buff, it is truly a joy to me to read something that is accurate. - The Quirky Lady
