Consider Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin.
“Warm, character-driven historical fiction following Caroline Fletcher, raised in a wealthy Richmond slaveholding household, as she confronts the moral costs of that world. The novel delivers intimate domestic scenes, period detail, and a faith-inflected arc that will satisfy readers who like slow moral reckonings and romance threads. Its main limitation is a steady sentimental and devotional tone that flattens some moral ambiguity and slows momentum, so readers seeking hard-edged historical critique or faster plotting may feel stalled.”
