Today the island of Curacao sounds

Phillip lives there during a different
time. World War II is raging, and it
cannot be escaped, even in paradise.

and are attacking the small islands with
their rich oil supplies.

the United States, but when their freighter is torpedoed by a
German U-Boat this book becomes a story of survival. Phillip is
separated from all he knows and is stranded on a small cay with
an old black man named Timothy. In the 1940's prejudice is
rampant, and blacks and whites do not trust each other easily.
Will Phillip learn to see beyond the color of Timothy's skin? Can
he trust him with his life? Read The Cay and find out. It's a
great book and highly recommended by Rachel.
