M. Schmidt and Gene D. Donley’s Sammy: Hero at Age Five
“Kids can get hungry sometimes while on chemo,” says
five-year-old Sammy, having a good day despite the malignant tumor invading his
brain. Based on true events from the 1980s, Sammy’s story is imagined by his
mother and brother as if the young boy might tell it himself. The result is
gripping. Told in two parts, Sammy’s account first invites us into the everyday
middle-American lives of a mom and her two boys. Sammy is a sweet, good-hearted
kid, even as he faces the most difficult challenges in Part 2: “Cancer
Arrived.” Here Sammy talks us through hospital trips and procedures, the
hardest parts as well as moments of simple joy. It is not always possible to
survive such a grim diagnosis, so Sammy and his family must embrace the smaller
victories from one day to the next. Finally, our young hero is given one last
opportunity to find his own unique path toward triumph. Listen closely as Sammy
tells us all what matters most.
