-Adrian

SAMANTHA only has a year to live. Trying to fight death and trying to hold her family together, she can't deny her lonileness.

I started to write this book with my very good friend Sonia two years ago. We have since gotten busy and forgot about it. But today I am republishing this book with the chapters that me and her wrote. We did not finish the book but I will. I will be keeping all chapter and side notes and A/N that I did with Sonia since it was our book baby
