Pam Lewis Knihy

Tiny Blush of Sunlight is inspired by the true story of a French Hugenot family that emigrated to North Carolina and took slaves with them to Ohio to set them free. The journey begins on two plantations near Charleston, South Carolina and weaves its way through many lives, until it finally reaches Ohio. The story opens a fascinating and compelling window into the antebellum lowcountry. The lives of two slaves, from very different plantations, intersect with the life of a prominent Charleston attorney. Slavery and ambivalence stand trial.

Set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic New England family, the narrative delves into the hidden secrets that threaten to unravel their lives. As the story unfolds, it explores themes of propriety, deception, and the complexity of familial relationships, revealing the darker undercurrents beneath their polished exterior. The author’s skillful storytelling promises a gripping and thought-provoking experience for readers.

"Well-written and gripping" ("Publishers Weekly"), this is Lewis's haunting debut thriller about a coming-of-age gone awry, as two best friends are entangled in a web of lies spun from a shared secret.
