Sami’s Silver Lining

Forced to flee his home in Syria for safety in England, Sami attempts to begin a new life but struggles to overcome the pain of the past. Memories of the long and dangerous journey across icy waters, armed with only his dad’s old coat, a flute and the hope of a brighter future, are never far away.

Can his new friends in the Lost and Found band and a blossoming romance with the girl of his dreams melt his frozen heart or is it too late to find a silver lining?

This is the second book in The Lost & Found series.

Reviews of Sami’s Silver Lining

Dear Cathy Cassidy,

Your book, Sami’s silver lining, is my all time favourite book. It is so well described it is like it is happening in front of you. It is an amazing book and I recommend it to everyone. Though you may need tissues handy, because it’s very sad. I know Cathy Cassidy probably won’t see this but, if you do, it is an amazing book and you should be very proud that you wrote it!
