Gripping, romantic, and
evocative of its time— A Shine that Defies the Dark is
a spellbinding story of one woman who will stop at nothing to survive during a
tumultuous time in American history.
After a six-year exile, Ophelia
Breaux and her mother are overjoyed to return to the Louisiana bayou. But it
seems the ghosts of the epic feud that drove them away still haunt Plaquemines
Parish, and with the Great Depression sweeping the nation, the two soon find
they can’t make ends meet.
Seeing no other option, Ophelia’s
mother takes the drastic step of sharing her bed with the town judge in
exchange for a reduced rent. The judge has had a life-long obsession with
Momma, and Ophelia is desperate to end this arrangement and get her away from
him.
When Remy Granger shows up,
Ophelia knows it could mean more trouble—and that’s the last thing they need.
Handsome and dangerous, he’s the first boy she ever kissed, and a member of the
most notorious family in southern Louisiana—but he’s also got an opportunity
for fast money in rumrunning. Ophelia goes all in, and it turns out she may
have a knack for the business. But she’s going to have to run even faster if
she wants to save Momma… dodging the cops, rival gangs, and her traitorous
heart at every turn.
