Book 2: Continued

By Sammie Settlemire

Sammie returns with a raw, unfiltered memoir that drags readers through the brutal truth of what it means to survive when every system built to help you slams the door in your face. From freezing Tulsa nights to shelters that felt more like punishment than refuge, Sammie exposes the reality of homelessness, trauma, and the fight to stay alive when the world is so unkind.
But this book isn't just about the past.
It's about the shadows that followed her into adulthood. Her father's murderer.
Fragments of her father's funeral resurface - the red satin pillow she chose for him, the lavender dress, the static-crackling boots, the family collapsing in grief. And with those memories comes a darker thread Sammie can't ignore anymore:
Why were her medical and police records sealed?
Who paid for her life saving surgeries?
Why was she deleted from the system?
And why did a lawyer warn her at seventeen to stop digging... or end up like her dad
