“Who gets stuck with Sammy?”

That’s the question on everyone’s mind when Sammy’s mother dies in the summer of 1968. How could Marni’s parents bring someone like him to live with her normal family? And now it’s Marni’s responsibility to “babysit” him.

But soon Marni discovers there are some advantages to taking care of her older cousin—and that someone unique is hidden beneath Sammy’s uncommon exterior. However, Marni still isn’t looking forward to taking him to the first day of school. What will people think when they find out she is related to Sammy? What will they do? And, most importantly, what will she do?

Destined to become a modern classic in LDS fiction, Sammy’s Song will open your eyes—and your heart.
