The book about Krista von Buren is a good one, don't get me wrong. She's a model in post World War II Switzerland. She is engaged to the nephew of the owner of a daimond mine, who's diamonds she models. She is beautiful, kind, and loves God. This character is a little too perfect for real belief. But it actaully works.

Her perfect life is flipped inside out when a wealthy actress from the United States comes to have a jewlery showing, bringing her good looking Texas lawyer, Jorden. She soon finds out they are more than what they seem. The " actress" is really a Jewish girl try ing to get her grandfathers account out of the bank, not for the money but so his hard earnings will not benifit those who killed him. She is also looking for the answer of how Krista is wearing a ring that was in her family during the war. Krista has gotten the ring from her mother but it is a mystery how her mother got it.

There is also a book of photo's taken by a relative of Krista, who everyone seems to want. Krista doesn't know why but knows somewhere in that book is all the answers. Was her family helping Hitler?

She finds it difficult to trust anyone now, definitly not her fiance. But the only problem was how quickly she turns her trust over to Jorden, who really is a member of the Israeli secret police. He was rude and awful to Krista at the beginning, he didn't trust her at all, but because he is handsome she believes whatever he tells her. Lucky for her, he is good.

I've given away too much already. It really is a good book, exciting and romantic, almost a little to so. I recommend it.

I found this book very interesting and had a great storyline. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I'd give it more stars if
I could!

Monday's Child fascinated me. Only having read a few of Linda Chaikin's books, I wasn't sure how this book would be. I was in for a pleasant surprise. While somewhat confusing at first, the plot was woven with amazing skill. All of the loose ends were tied in a secure knot at the end. I can only hope that the rest of this series will be as captivating!

Wow! I am amazed at how easily Linda Chaikin can adjust to writing books from long-time-ago scenario to the 20th century. Her main characters Krista and Jorden are great & well-developed. Krista is a supermodel and has another job: collecting information for her fiance. Little did she know that she is being followed and that there is a mystery surrounding her parents' deaths. Jorden Keller is a Mossad agent/lawyer seeking justice for the atrocities done to Jews in WWII. Krista is stunned to find that her family might have helped Hitler financely and were members of Hitler's Gestapo and Hitler's Youth. What's with the book that Krista was told to buy? There is also another mystery: How did Krista's mother get possession of the ring that Jorden believed was stolen from Stella Cohen's family? Also a accident makes Krista realize that her worth is not in her fair face but what her spirit within. Linda Chaikin did an EXCELLENT job on this book and I'll read it over and over again.

I thought this was definitely an excellent book by Linda Chaikin. She balances a mystery with a good romance. I only gave it four stars though, because I prefer her historical fiction. She does a good job though, of transitioning from historical fiction to modern, which sometimes can be difficult to do. If you liked Monday's Child, try Arabian Winds or Valiant Hearts by her.

this is a very good book definatly but better hury there noit in print any more so don't wait and then be disapointed when thers none left.

This is an awesome book! It has adventure, history, and Romance! If you don't have it buy it today!

This is another excellant book by Linda Chaikin. Her books are not only inspirational, they are very educational. I can't wait to read the next book in this Series.

This is clearly Linda Chaikin's best yet! Romance, intrigue.... What more could you ask for.

This book is just like all of L.L.Chaikin's other works:intriguing,inspirational and incredible.Great plot, characters that feel like old friends and suspense that keeps the pages turning.A must-read.
