You've Reached Sam (You've Reached Sam, #1)

by Dustin Thao

There’s a long silence before he finally answers this. He says, “I wanted to give us a chance to say good-bye.”

This moment always breaks me, when Sam finally answers her question, "why did you pick up the phone?" Sometimes the truth is the last thing we want to hear, isn't it? When I first came up with the idea for the book, this phone call came to me first. Before I sat down to write, I knew this was Sam's answer. Even having experienced my own losses, I can't imagine how devistating this would be to hear.
