Product Description
Sunday Everette has a childhood unlike any other in the Jim Crow era of the South, growing up at the Pea Island Life-Saving Station among the barren dunes of North Carolina's stormy Outer Banks. In sheltered isolation, guided solely by the influence of the Station's heroic all-black crewmen, she blossoms into a strong and beautiful young woman with a spirit to match. But Sunday's secluded paradise cannot last. Her calm, simple days by the sea must inevitably give way to the fast-approaching storms of life. Unexpectedly, those darkening skies bring with them an unlikely mix of forbidden love, murder, and revenge along with a Nazi submarine carrying millions of dollars in gold stolen from Hitler's Third Reich. First in a trilogy, Sunday's Child begins the saga of three unique families from across the world, flung fatally together by three of mankind s most basic traits: war, love, and greed.

What a great story! I truely enjoyed to detail in this book and it took me away to another time and place. Tom Lewis captured the period of the time perfectly and I loved the strong female character of Sunday. I look forward to many more books to come!

This was one of the first books I downloaded on my Kindle. I usually don't like suspense, thriller type books but after reading the reviews, I figured it's only $1 so it couldn't be a total lost. I couldn't put it down. It was interesting from beginning to end. The end of the book was so exciting it had my heart pumping faster and faster as I read the last third of the book. What I truly enjoyed about Sunday's Child was the history lesson that came along with the story. I also loved the fact that the leading character was a strong black woman who was determined, smart, and a true entreprenuer. Fabulous role model for all! As soon as I completed the book and discovered it was one of a trilogy, I quickly downloaded the second book "Hitler's Judas". Again, I was not disappointed. I completed both Sunday's Child and Hitler's Judas in less than a week and a half. I can't wait for the final book in the trilogy..."Sons of Their Fathers". I highly recommended this book to everyone.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I thought I would try this book due to the price. It is as good as a full cost book and better than many of them. The historical setting is interesting and the author doesn't spare the reader fear. I have since read another book by this author which is very similar and entertaining. This book is one of my must reads.
