The Tender Silver Stars by Pamela Stockwell is a historical fiction, though I really hate saying the 1970s are historical because it makes me feel old. The novel is set in South Carolina, a perfect setting for the issues of the times.
Triss is a rich, white girl who isn't allowed to follow in the family business because women shouldn't be lawyers - at least according to her grandfather, the man with the purse strings. Everlove is a working class black girl who, despite the civil rights movement, can't shop in certain grocery stores let alone pursue her dreams. What happens when the two become friends - especially when they learn of a lawyer with shady real estate dealings as well as a shady past? And let's not forget to throw in a cast of wonderful neighbors! I enjoyed this character-driven novel - and I think you will, too. Purchase the paperback. Purchase the ebook. *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
