KATHERINE SCOTT CRAWFORD is an 11th generation Southerner, born and raised in South Carolina. At ten she climbed a shelf to nab her parents’ copy of Pat Conroy’s The Prince of Tides because its cover looked good and worn. Katherine double majored at Clemson University, moved to Charleston and earned a MA in English from the College of Charleston/The Citadel, studied in Italy, lived on Folly Beach, became an adjunct professor, and published her first historical novel, Keowee Valley in 2012. She was a columnist for Gannett with The Greenville News (SC) and the Asheville Citizen-Times(NC). She spent 13 years as a college English professor and earned an MFA in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.

“My historical fiction is steeped in place: I want my readers transported. Always, it sparks from a scene I can’t get out of my head. With THE MINIATURIST’S ASSISTANT, I met an early-1800s girl in an old Charleston alley on a hot summer night, who begged me to Come back.”

In historic Charleston, art conservator Gamble Vance throws herself into her career restoring centuries-old miniature portraits. But one portrait haunts her: a woman in a fox stole, with familiar hazel eyes. When Gamble meets a girl in an alley, she’s convinced it’s the same woman—and it’s not the first time they’ve met…Gamble races to reconcile her complicated past, solve an art mystery, and save the people she loves across two different lifetimes…
