In Store Event with Bill Sampson

Farieh . . . a brilliant student begins her sophomore year in college. The academic success so dazzling her first year proves uneven in the second, while violence and betrayal stalk her most intimate relationships. Extraordinary circumstances rarely move in a straight line; a comfortable path may lead to a place not comfortable at all. Does she stay with Steven? How does she fight for her community? Can she hold onto her truth when thousands of classmates clamor that she lay it down? Farieh must summon all of her gifts to sort through hard choices familiar to young people everywhere.

Bill Sampson received his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Kansas before serving four years active duty as a Navy Judge Advocate.
