Sunday's Child

by Tom Lewis
Publisher: VP Publishing, LLC
ISBN: 0-9705793-1-4
$14.95

Sunday's Child is the first of a series of three books comprising the riveting Pea Island Gold trilogy.

Born to a white prostitute and a black prizefighting drifter. Raised on an island by tough, courageous men. Controlled by no one but herself...

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.

Come, enjoy the truly fascinating life of Sunday Everette.
