The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley is a brilliant domestic suspense novel about Samuel and his teenage daughter Loo. There are twelve gun shot wounds on Sam’s body, behind each, there is a story that still haunts Sam in the present. Trying his hardest to be a good father and shielding Loo from what the criminal past might bring, Sam could not stop Loo from uncovering bits and pieces of her mother mysterious death from her grandmother. This book is a love story, a family story, and a thriller. Besides the actions, deep emotions intertwine around grief, confusion, loss, and longing.

I read the advanced readers copy and could not put it down. This book will be published in March this year, it is definitely a page turner.
