I wasn't sure what I would be getting when I first started "Sam's Story: Book One", but I have to admit that within a few pages I was hooked on Sam and her story of survival, strength, independence and love. Ms. Crusan-Kramer has a talent for writing that is clear with each new page, weaving a story about a young girl who is wholly different than those around her and the novel explores Sam's struggles to not only survive the backwater little town she was born in, but the big city of Atlanta when she finally escapes the small Boone County. This is a well-written and vivid story that runs the gamut of emotions from sadness to anger to hope and happiness in equal turns. Sam is the kind of character that resonates with the reader; she's real and authentic, pulling you into her story with words that speak to the heart and make you see a little bit of yourself in her struggles. "Sam's Story: Book One" is drama-rich with strong, engaging characters, a plot that slowly unfolds and keeps you interested, and a promising ending that makes you want to read more. Overall, is was a wonderful read and has me eager to read the next in the trilogy series.
