**GIVEAWAY** and Review of A Slave of the Shadows by Naomi Finley

A Slave of the Shadows by Naomi Finley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Slave of the Shadows by Naomi Finley is a fantabulous (yes, yes, I know this is not a real word!) read! I adored it and cannot wait for the other books in the series! Finley’s main character, Willow, and her new best friend, Whitney, are outrageous, audacious women on a mission to help mistreated slaves in the south where they live. Willow is also determined to find out more about her mother, who died when she was a child, whom no one is willing to speak of. There are several interesting side stories that I assume will come to fruition in Book 2, coming out in 2019. I was quite delighted with this read. Fans of Gone With the Wind will truly enjoy A Slave of the Shadows.

A Slave of the Shadows by Naomi Finley

Publication Date: March 5, 2018

Huntson Press Inc.

eBook & Paperback

Genre: Historical Fiction

In 1850 Charleston, South Carolina, brutality and cruelty simmer just under the genteel surface of Southern society. In an era where ladies are considered mere property, beautiful and headstrong Willow Hendricks’ father has filled her life with turmoil, secrets, and lies. Her father rules her life until 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—and they are plunged into fear and chaos in 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.
