Sam's Story: Book One is about Samantha Skylar, a fourteen year old girl living in a small town in the 1970's.  She is living with her wonderful, supportive grandmother due to problems at home.First I have to say that this book was so well written that I was quickly absorbed into the story...  I came to love Sam and her Gram.  I also have to say how realistic it is ....  this is what living in a small town in the 70's and 80's was like.  The author totally captures the feeling of being a young girl living in the late 70's in a small, low income town.I am a voracious reader...  I can read two books a day, especially with all the free and inexpensive e-books available nowadays.  This was not a quick read...  it was deep and emotional. Sams Story is an absolute gem that I will recommend to all my friends, and I don't say that about every book I read....  I want a hard copy of this book so I can loan it out.For the first 40% of the book....  there a few really hard adult choices for Sam...  great writing.... steamy sex scenes.....  then BAM out of nowhere a HUGE twist that throws Sam's life in turmoil.  After that point I think I was crying, or on the verge of crying, for the rest of the book....  What Sam goes through rips your heart out for her....This book was brilliantly written with twists and turns that I didn't expect that left me crying like a baby ...  I can not wait to read Skylar Trilogy book two!  I have been totally absorbed in Sam's life for the last couple days...  I am not ready for her story to end!
