Here’s the set-up:
Stranded in the Savannah, Georgia Airport after a family wedding, Dr. Samuel Johnson—a Gynecologist—his wife and his parents confront their family emotional baggage even as their Louis Vitton luggage makes its way to the families final destination. During his eight-hour layover in Savannah, Samuel discovers the painful secrets that mull his father’s past, suffers through the erratic behavior of his mother, and even his lovely even-keeled wife has acquired an inexplicably hard edge. He is also forced to confront the fact that he has grown weary of his all-consuming medical practice and longs for another life. As tensions rise, more and more secrets are revealed as the airport becomes the family’s battleground. Can Samuel find a way to make things right?
5-Star Amazon Reviews
“Book of Samuel is a touching and very funny journey of the heart for Dr. Samuel Johnson. While his physical travels are halted, he emotionally travels through more than he ever thought possible. And learns that the things we take for granted in life as being a given are not always what they seem. Enjoy!!!”
“This story of love and intimacy – both familial and romantic – will touch your heart and leave you smiling. Robinson’s characters, entertaining and engaging, come to life from first few pages and keep you wanting more. I found myself rooting for each and every one of them! Sometimes, a missed plane or a foiled plan are necessary in life to make us stop and take stock of our lives. Sweet, funny and poignant — you won’t be disappointed that you stepped inside a day in the life of Dr. Samuel Johnson. Excellent work, Mr. Robinson!”
