The Author
Pamela Roberts Lee
Is a former Air Force Judge Advocate and retired U.S. Department of Justice Trial Attorney who has appeared in courts throughout the United States. She currently lives in Alamogordo, New Mexico with her husband Matt, where she is Chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Her vision for writing The Darkness at Dawn comes from her knowledge of her ancestors, including the story’s protagonist, John Lee, and from her belief that all Americans would benefit from learning about America’s turbulent 1600s.
The Darkness at Dawn
How much guilt can a man endure? How much depravity can a man display? These questions are examined in the fresh new novel, The Darkness at Dawn, set in early New England. When 13-year-old John Lee sees 19-year-old Richard Hawkes, already a petty thief and murderer, steal his Puritan church’s gold inlaid chalice during a storm in the middle of the Atlantic on their congregation’s journey to Boston, he has no idea that it would be followed by a 40 year conflict between them. Sworn to secrecy by Richard, John’s guilt grows over the years as he watches Richard commit vile acts in his effort to increase his power and wealth.
