Before Sandbrook, before Daisy, before Tess...there was Sam. A smart, quiet, lonely girl. Two years above her grade, Sam knew no one, talked to no one, sat with no one. She liked reading, keeping to herself. Alec Hardy was a quiet, smart, sometimes grumpy kid, he had no friends, he didn't need any. This is the story of how Sam....met Alec....as seniors at school. Follow the grumpy DI's story of first love, and what happens when there may be one person in all of Broadchurch that isn't so horrid
