Prelude

Freedom Road #0.5

by T.M. Souders

Eight-year-old Samantha Becker has the perfect life—a father and mother who love her and a baby brother on the way. When a car accident spurs her mother’s labor, she gives birth to a stillborn child and loses her chances of ever conceiving again. But the accident’s devastation does not stop there. Left with a father who hardly speaks to her and a mother who turns to booze, Sam’s world quickly falls apart. But her neighbor June and a timely gift may be the one thing that saves her….


Prelude depicts the catalyst for the dysfunction in Samantha Becker’s life, as portrayed ten years later, in the novel, Freedom Road.

I read the ABNA excerpt of Freedom Road and knew I wanted more of the story. This is a chilling setup dealing with the trials Samantha had already endured and explains the strained relationship she had with her parents. Well done from the point of view of an eight-year-old.
