I AM NOT SAM B*TCH: An Heiress' Tale of Family Greed, Broken Trust and Personal Triumph
In June 2026, Andy co-authored his debut book, I Am Not Sam B*tch: An Heiress’ Tale of Family Greed, Broken Trust and Personal Triumph.
A work of biographical fiction based on a true story, it chronicles the life of Sam Glass, a woman who grew up in one of the nation’s wealthiest families.
To the outside world, Sam’s life was perfect: private jets, luxury hotels, exotic cars, and life as an heiress to a financial empire.
But behind closed doors, it was chaos. Her sister tormented her. Her parents belittled her. They called her “Sam Bitch” to her face.
And when her own mother defied her father in a ruthless fight for money and control, Sam had a choice: lay down and capitulate – or stand up and fight.
It tells a gripping tale of a family’s insatiable desire to put greed above blood relationships.
From this dysfunction, Sam rises and finds her voice, offering hope – and lessons – to those facing similar family trauma.
