Sammy and Sunny


Book Description

In 1931, a young woman was murdered in Phoenix, and the life she had lived was forgotten in a whirl of tabloid sensation. Hedvig "Sammy" Samuelson was seen by the public as simply one of two victims of the Winnie Ruth Judd Trunk Murders. Sammy's life as an adventurer, a schoolteacher, a shaper of young minds, went unremarked for decades. Then, seventy years after her death, her great-niece Sunny Worel set out to correct the record, to bring Sammy's life back into focus, to restore her dignity as a human being. By the time Sunny had done so, it was obvious that Sunny's spirit mirrored that of Sammy. Two women had reached out to each other across the gulf of time.
