Summary: This is the story of when Sam went to Stanford and figured out, with a lot of difficulty, loneliness, and false starts, how to make his way in the normal world without the family that had defined his whole life for 18 years.

"If there was one thing he’d learned at college, it was that you could take the boy out of the hunter’s life, but you couldn’t take the hunter’s life out of the boy."

Note: I had to frequently stop while writing this story to cry, "POOR SAM!" The poor guy had to be so numb for so long after he first left his family. He's such a touching tragic figure.
