Samantha

In his exquisitely crafted first novel, Samantha, Marco North uses the highly-distilled, episodic writing style, that is the hallmark of his poetry and short stories, to peel back the skin on Samantha Worth, an emotionally scarred veteran of abuse, poverty, and neglect. Like a combat-weary soldier, Samantha belly crawls through the minefield of her life, always closer to a trip wire than she is to the safety of the other side.
