The book
Samuel — A Life in Thirty Seconds is a dramatic novel about what gives a life its value: not its length, but what you choose to do with it, and what you decide to leave behind.
What it is about
A village still asleep
In the sleepy village of Ferrières-sur-Aume, Samuel has never asked for anything in return for what he gave. Twenty-two years old, with hands used to working the land and wood.
An inherited conviction
He gets a simple idea from his mother: the good you do is never lost.
Thirty seconds
That morning, a frantic bell is about to change everything. Samuel becomes the hero who saved children — before the world forgets him.
