Description
Sam: A Novel by Allegra Goodman At seven years old, Sam is a girl who defies expectations. She lives with her mother in Beverly, Massachusetts, and while her father's absence is felt, it's not the only thing that sets her apart. Sam doesn't fit in at school, where conformity is prized, but she finds freedom in climbing - literally and figuratively. As Sam grows older, her desire for autonomy intensifies. She yearns to be noticed, yet wants to disappear. Her relationships with those around her become increasingly complicated, particularly when a new coach takes an interest in her climbing. Meanwhile, her mother's attempts to plan for her future only serve to heighten Sam's resistance. This moving and wise novel offers a powerful portrait of coming-of-age, exploring themes of class, parenthood, addiction, lust, and the irrepressible power of dreams.
