When I say that S.E. Tschritter has a heart of gold, trust me on that! Our chat was both warm and deeply meaningful. I felt truly honored to connect with someone so kind and empathetic. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Samantha, I didn't want to stop speaking with her. One of the best conversations. Sam E. Tschritter (pronounced Shridder) is a celebrated author with multiple awards to her name. She focuses on expressing grief and loss, guiding those in pain towards hope and healing. Through her poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, Tschritter creates work that resonates powerfully with readers long after the final page is turned. With over 20 years of leadership experience and contributions to more than 40 books, she speaks her truths with candor, humor, and genuine love. Growing up in Chicagoland and having lived in Minnesota and Oregon, Tschritter has a rich tapestry of perspectives from across the nation. Nestled in Simpsonville, South Carolina, she shares her home with her husband, their three daughters navigating the teen and preteen years, two playful cats named Pitter and Patter, and a spirited Siberian husky, affectionately named Onomatopoeia (a name she lost the voting for!). For Tschritter, there's nothing quite like the rejuvenating magic of gardening. It's her go-to escape for tackling those pesky plot holes, getting through writer’s block, shaping characters, and brainstorming book concepts. Gardening truly holds a special place in her heart and occupies a significant chunk of her time! Samantha Evans' book, "The Prodigal's Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak," recounts a life-altering night that began at 1:30 a.m. with a phone call that no spouse ever wants to receive. “Mrs. Evans, a sergeant from the police department here. There’s been an accident.” Just six hours later, another devastating call followed: “Mrs. Evans, a nurse from the hospital. We discovered something concerning in the CAT scan.” That Sunday, instead of delivering his sermon, Pastor Clint Evans found himself facing jail time, grappling with a BAC of .24, a cancer diagnosis, and a felony charge for fleeing from the police. "The Prodigal's Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak" is an inspiring tale of a Christian’s relentless struggle with demons, addictions, and feelings of unworthiness. This narrative showcases a God who shines brightly, bestowing grace upon a man often deemed "unredeemable." The Prodigal’s Son bursts open the church doors wide, welcoming society’s misfits and urging the devout to rethink how they measure their own spiritual worth against those struggling with addiction, homelessness, and despair. Journeying from gutter to pulpit, from grace to the grave, this powerful narrative reveals the depth of God’s relentless love for those society often overlooks. It also tells the story of a pastor facing the consequences of drunk driving, shedding light on the devastating impact of alcoholism on families. Many suffer in silence: 'My wife hid her addiction from me' and 'My husband concealed his alcoholism.' The struggle with drug addiction touches millions.
