A Love That I Will Always Remember - Book 1
Ten-year-old Samuel, cursed with a memory that never lets him forget, gives his only bread to a scavenging girl named Issa - a small kindness that ties two orphaned kids together as they learn to survive, fight, and love each other on the unforgiving streets. Short premise: Samuel remembers everything: every bruise, every argument, every night he went hungry. Life teaches him to hide and survive until the day he offers his bread to Issa, a girl scavenging from trash. Together they form a fragile family, facing violence, hunger, and the small mercies of the city as their bond grows from survival to something deeper. Expanded plot description: Samuel's childhood is a map of hurts he can't erase-home full of arguing adults, siblings who push him around, and a body that feels clumsy and numb. On a rainy morning, he meets Issa, a wary scavenger, and hands her his bread. That tiny, impulsive mercy becomes the hinge of their lives: they learn to trust each other, steal sleep where they can, and share little luxuries like a warm spot under a storefront awning. But the streets are dangerous, and every kindness draws both refuge and risk. As Samuel clings to memory and Issa teaches him how to live in the present, they must decide what they'll protect at all costs-and whether the fragile love that grows between them can survive the city that keeps trying to break them.

Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."
