This story instantly gave me Forrest Gump vibes, right there was a win. I related to the fierce love of his Mother and admired her faith. She often reminded me of my own mother who very often says “it’s Gods will”. Sam's life unfolds as he goes to Catholic School, gets bullied, and ends up making a couple of lifelong friends along the way. This story has a lot to unpack an extraordinary must read story!
