Sunday Rain (2023), the first Western novel in the 'Sons of War' series', is a lively and powerful post-Civil War era gem of advocation, written by Western Hall of Fame artist and author, Pete Lester, who portraits the physical and emotional journey of dangerous liaisons from the backcountry of Kentucky. The story is a fictional odyssey, yet authentic in nature, earthy, raw, wise, geographically sound, and historically set about three men challenged to ride in an untamed land. Along the way Chas, Jackie Ray, and Atohi find only a handful of trustworthy friends and discover betrayal waits in every town. Lester's book, set in 1871, rings out of an American tradition of adventure, capturing the unsettling theme of godlessness and nature, while moving across the land with their own spirit and faith, still riding with hope of better days.
