Story of Sam Ruiz

Hey guys! I was born on February 12, 1997 in Southern Utah. I have grown up in a close knit family, always wanting to help others and reading. I struggled to grow up. I'm a survivor of child abuse in all the forms and my mother passed when I was 14 by suicide. That stuff lead me down a road of not very good decisions. 

My freshman year of high school, I met my first husband, and we officially started dating the next year. When I graduated highschool, we got married. The relationship was very toxic, but we ended up getting pregnant with my amazing son CorieLee in July 2016. About a year after Corie was born, my ex and I split up after we'd met with my now husband, Eastman, and heard how his past marriage. This talk ended up showing us we needed to separate. 

Truthfully, soon after my first marriage split, I started casually seeing Eastman as well as started writing more. I would write occasionally as a kid but really got into around this time. Before we knew it, I was pregnant with our daughter Riddley and a few months after that, I officially got my divorce from my first husband. In December 2017, Eastman asked me to marry him, which obviously I said yes, haha. 

Riddley was born in May 2018 and Eastman and I were married on November 10th that year. Next thing I knew, we were pregnant again with our daughter Katerina, Kit-kat, and she was born in June 2020. We have been pushing each other to pursue our dreams, my writing and his want to be a personal trainer, which is partially what lead me to release A Memory For You in 2023!
