Coming September 30 … Order Now!!!

The unexpectedly perfect sequel to Sam’s two books about America’s drug-addiction epidemic.

Stories of people finding fulfillment not from a product they buy … but from pursuing something they love, through hard work, with others, persevering through failure, yet without the promise of wealth or fame.

The Perfect Tuba bellows with joy in offbeat tales that are Quinones’ journalistic hallmark. He offers another story of our nation—this of people brought together by shared joy, humble achievement, and hard work.
