A scream pierces the night at Glentivar Plantation—and by morning, everything has changed.
When a newborn’s body is rumored to be found outside Nancy Randolph’s room, whispers of scandal erupt. A forbidden affair between Nancy and her brother-in-law. A murdered child. A cover-up within one of America’s most powerful families. But no body is ever recovered, and the truth lies buried under privilege, secrecy, and fear.
Told through the voices of Nancy and her enslaved maid Phebe, The Girl in the Shadows is a haunting historical retelling of betrayal, resilience, and the high price of justice in a divided America.
Based on real events, this gripping novel is perfect for fans of Stacey Halls, Philippa Gregory, and Kristin Hannah.
