Reviews
for Night Shade
"Ambitious and arresting... Night Shade features a compelling and smoothly paced story line, complex characters and plenty of nuance and surprises." -Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune

​"I have had the pleasure of reading this great book. It is an exquisitely crafted novel about how the Quakers assisted the Black Abolitionist movement in Philadelphia. I think (Pauline's) narrative is thoughtful and I encourage you to support someone who grew up in North Minneapolis and attended Macalester College." 
-Duchess Harris, author of Hidden Figures

​"As in her previous novel, "Finding Hollis", Williams creates vividly-drawn characters, all of whom have good hearts.
​-St. Paul Pioneer Press
