Unlikely Alliances: A Tale of Friendship and Intrigue with Author Pamela Stockwell

  1. Unlikely Alliances: A Tale of Friendship and Intrigue with Author Pamela Stockwell Teri M Brown 23:40

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Pamela Stockwell, author of the book The Tender Silver Stars. Award-winning author Pamela Stockwell was born in Texas and raised in South Carolina. In between, she lived in the Philippines and, along with her big sister, became fluent in Tagalog name-calling. She abandoned her foreign language studies at age five and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of South Carolina. Pamela lives with her husband in Central New Jersey. She has three children in various stages of young adulthood, one dog, and too many cats. She is the author of A Boundless Place and The Tender Silver Stars, which have both garnered awards. Her poetry and creative nonfiction have appeared in several online literary journals and anthologies.

In my book review, I stated The Tender Silver 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.
