Holly Goldberg Sloan – författare

Sam Border önskar att han kunde fly. Han har fått nog av det kringflackande liv som hans psykiskt sjuka pappa lever. Men han skulle aldrig kunna överge sin lillebror Riddle som har slutat tala för länge sedan och som istället beskriver världen genom sina märkliga och detaljrika teckningar. Så möter Sam Emily och allting förändras. När han hör henne sjunga i kyrkan löser den eviga knuten i magen upp sig för första gången i hans liv och han vet att han har kommit hem. Det är kärlek vid första ögonkastet och Emilys familj tar emot Sam och Riddle med öppna armar. För första gången får Sam känna hur det är att ha en riktig familj. Aldrig släppa taget handlar om ett livsavgörande möte. Det är en gripande, hjärtskärande och fullkomligt oförglömlig berättelse.
