Inspired to help others, Sam, finds her elusive happy ever after..
Samantha Wilson is an award-winning freelance writer with a passion for being the voice of others. Despite vowing never to go back, she returns to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for an assignment. Her return awakens memories that force her to confront her sad and lonely childhood, including the violent attack she’d rather forget. Moving away and making a quiet, successful solo life for herself, leaving the life she knew behind cannot keep Sammie from facing her past.
The assignment takes her on a journey, helping her find a purpose, friendships, and a community that embraces her passion. Unfortunately, she still struggles to free herself from the things holding her back, keeping her from seeing the love right in front of her.
Fortunately, her best friend, Zoë, flies in from New Mexico to be by her side while she confronts the demons of her past. Sammie has a knack for helping others find their happy endings. Will she finally let Zoe help her become whole again and maybe discover her happy ending in the process?
