Elizabeth Hopewell was inspired to write Sammy’s Journey Home from her own experiences of being a foster mother and caring for children in their time of need.

Will Sammy’s journey home take him back to his birth family, or will he find he belongs with his latest foster family?

Sammy has never known anyone he could trust, and his broken past makes it hard for him to open up to the people who are trying to help him. His summer is filled with many firsts: a new foster home, a new school, new friends, new enemies, and his first chance to join a baseball team. At the same time, his world seems to be falling apart around him, and he wonders if he will ever see his baby sister again. Sammy is faced with a choice: to live the life he’s always known—pushing others away because of his secret fear of another rejection—or to begin to embrace the faith and friendship he is finding in this new town.

Children will find a comforting friend in Sammy and can be inspired to make the same positive choices as they see him confront his fears, choose forgiveness, and find hope and healing.

Sammy’s Journey Home will be especially enjoyable for readers ages 8-12 and is now available for purchase online through most major retailers, including Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon!
