I Am Not Sam B*tch

On the surface, Sam Glass had it all: private jets, luxury hotels, exotic cars, and life as an heiress to a financial empire.

To the outside world, it was perfect.

But behind closed doors, it was chaos. Her sister tormented her. Her parents belittled her. They called her “Sam Bitch” to her face.

And when her own mother defied her father in a ruthless fight for money and control, Sam had a choice: lay down and capitulate – or stand up and fight.

Based on a true story, this book tells a gripping tale of a family’s insatiable desire to put greed above blood relationships.

From this dysfunction, Sam rises and finds her voice, offering hope – and lessons – to those facing similar family trauma.
