Elaine Westley

Teenager Annie’s life has been fraught with trouble and she deals with it by wearing some very thick armour… and attitude. Her mother’s been jailed for murdering Annie’s stepfather and she’s been sent away to live in rural Pennsylvania with an aunt she never knew existed. Angry and unhappy, Annie is ready to take on anyone or anything that comes her way. However, when she meets sweet, gorgeous and Amish Samuel, the first chinks begin to appear in her armour.

Confronted by two very contrasting lifestyles, Annie realises she needs to face up to her problems and unlock the dark secret that could free her mother. But given the consequences will she bolt, or will she choose Samuel’s way?

A tale of all-consuming first love in an impossible situation, Samuel’s Way will have you wondering how Annie can possibly make the right choice, but hoping with all your heart that she does.
