In
a crisis torn, South American country, only little Ann's faith, her
determination, and one young woman could help keep her dreams of escape alive.
A true story.
Set in Guyana, a former British Colony, told through the eyes of
a child sometimes called, Ann. She tells of the harrowing life she’s forced to
live with her abusive grandmother, while giving a glimpse into the political
and cultural climate of the economically stricken country at the time.
Ann didn’t care that she lived in poverty - after all, the best
hours of her young life were those spent in the food lines - because anything, anything was better than the horrendous
abuse she suffered at home.
Daily blackouts, political brainwash, murders raging through her
unstable country, and her hunger pains were no match for the darkness that
lived within her soul - a soul sketched as a dot-to-dot picture of constant
fear. Each day, each dot got her closer to the completion of an existence
steadily spiralling downward to certain annihilation of everything she hoped
her life could be.
Sunday’s Child is not only about pain, but about laughter, mental breakdowns, evictions, loyalty, and above all, love; for it is love that ultimately triumphs in the wretched arena of torture, corruption and abandonment.

Darkness can become
light. I know, because I used to be Ann.
