“Call Me SAM”

Join the Miller family and their two sons as they reclaim their ancestors farm land in southeastern Kansas and the immigrants from Afghanistan as they settle in America. The Miller ranch/farm was previously converted to a Titan Missile Silo Instillation during the cold war period between Russian and United States. Sites were constructed and built by the Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1950s similar to what exists on the Miller property. They were operated by the U.S. Air Force from 1961 until 1965, when it was decommissioned and abandoned by the military in favor of newer rocket technology. Thus making it possible for the Millers to acquire the property once again. So, today the Miller family is converting the instillation to a more peaceful use as a ranch, factory and a theme park. With the influx of the Afghan population, the family is further using it as an educational center and a place where dreams can come true. Unfortunately, in the final chapters of the novel the Millers discover Sam’s story is but a day dream and their journey to Cherryvale takes a sudden and surprise ending. But fortunately as with most stories by this author, they live happily ever after.
