    Everyone has their secrets, and so does Multibillionaire Sam Montgomery. The hero of so many people who cured many deseases so far got diagnosed with leukemia and shocked the whole world with this one sentence: "I'd rather die than taking a bone-narrow transplantation from my sister". And so, he contacts a journalist that's quiet different to the most others- Eleni Diamanté. As she visits him, actually most because of his mysterious vault that keeps things of millions of dollars of worth, she soon finds out what he tried to hide from everybody else- a family-drama full of hatred, pain, love, fear and so much more. While she leeds us through the book in her perspective, she introduces us to the story of "Sam" from its very beginning. From the life as a family of 4, with a sister, a loving mother and a caring father until it's just him. She explains us his story without missing a thing. What remained from his mother, what his relationship with his father was like and what happened to the siblings that he is so full of hate against her. With her good heart and her sharp mind, she tries to reach him like no one ever did. She tries to help him understand, and tries him to forgive, so that she becomes a part of his story- in her very own way. The book is great from the first to the last word, and it's a pleasure to read it. The characters are great, have their very own characters, quirks and issues. They feel and they think and to recognize that is one of the most impressive things of this book. Also, the storyline goes some unpopular ways and makes the story refreshing and enjoyable. At some parts, it is quiet poetic and gives charme to the characters. All in all, it is fantastic. A big thank you to bookreads for giving me the chance to read this, and a even bigger thank you to the author hisself, it was a pleasure to read this piece of art you made. "the difference between past and future is just the difference between memory and anticipation."
