A witty tale of ambition, friendship, and the delicate balance between chasing one’s dreams while holding on to what matters most.
Eleanor Wild has it all—except for a single good idea. As a bestselling author with a bad case of writer’s block and a family on the brink of mutiny, Eleanor agrees to a family vacation in Las Vegas. But instead of relaxation, she finds herself sitting next to Sam Sutton, a twenty-three-year-old aspiring author with a knack for both storytelling and oversharing. What starts as a mid-flight chat turns into an unlikely friendship, with Sam’s raw enthusiasm and bold ideas sparking the creative fire Eleanor thought she’d lost forever. But as their collaboration takes off, so do the complications. Between her neglected family, Sam’s growing resentment of her own struggling dreams, and a moral gray area that grows darker by the day, Eleanor’s balancing act is starting to look more like a high-stakes gamble. Set against the neon-lit chaos of Las Vegas, Eleanor & Sam explores the complexities of ambition, the struggle for balance, and the power of second chances—proving that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there…especially when it’s your career and family on the line. For fans of Writers & Lovers and Blank, this heartwarming and witty women’s fiction tale offers a poignant look at the intersection of creativity, family, and self-discovery |

Compulsively readable and wholly satisfying, Eleanor & Sam is a love letter to authors, to books, to the creative process, to friendship—especially the unique, often tricky, bond that forms between artists. I loved every minute of it.” --Suzy Krause, bestselling author of Sorry I Missed You and I Think We've Been Here Before
“A powerful story of two women and the choices they make that affect their lives forever. A very satisfying novel that captures the reader for the entire journey along with Eleanor and Sam as they come to grips and learn from their engrossing interactions with each other, the true meaning of living life’s challenges and overcoming regret. Two very different women bonded over their love of story and how difficult it can be for women to find their way as writers in a world that still doesn’t make it easy for creatives. A riveting page-turner you don’t want to miss!” —January Bain, author of the Anna Hale P.I. series
