Wait for Tomorrow

Samantha Mohr felt both surprised and betrayed. Three months ago, her husband Clark was earning eighty-six thousand dollars a year as a bridge engineer. The company lost two major contracts and Clark was fired when the company downsized.

Unpaid bills are mounting, and a mortgage is two months past due. Seven-year-old Cindy’s prescription medications takes a hefty chunk out of the budget.

Frustrated with no signs of help Samantha writes a letter to The President asking help not just for herself but also for her many neighbors suffering the pains of unemployment. At the White House her letter is tossed into an office trashcan, but strangely, the letter went viral when it appears in the Baltimore Sun. Her letter explaining a family’s plight trying to deal with a myriad of problems and public humility gains interest of millions of Americans — and The President. A narcissistic politician tries to benefit by using Samantha in his re-election campaign. Her refusal to help brings a vengeful encounter. Samantha learns notoriety can have a price she is unwilling to pay.

Langdon Brook, an old friend, and multi-millionaire CEO of Tidewater Construction, visits Samantha and gives her $15,000 to help ease financial burdens. Langdon Brooks and Clark Mohr were roommates at Duke and played on the college’s football team.

Samantha’s happiness is short-lived when Langdon informs Samantha that someone is trying to kill him. Langdon’s deadly web quickly snares Samantha’s family.

Now Samantha and Clark face a more urgent and sinister dilemma. They must combine courage to defeat an unscrupulous and avaricious killer. Samantha’s prayers that tomorrow brings a safer future is no certainty her family will see another day.
