About The Book

Turning Water Into Butter

Living the Power Within

Though born into a household of modest means, in which neither of his parents had the opportunity to attend middle school, Sammy nevertheless found—or else created—ways to overcome the many roadblocks that confronted him due to his humble beginnings. He eventually earned a doctorate in biostatistics and founded two multi-million-dollar companies in different industries.

As part of his less than smooth trajectory to worldly achievement, he has, on an inner level, had to confront the emotional and spiritual challenges of spending only nine years of his childhood with his parents, experiencing a life-fracturing divorce after twenty-five years of marriage, and facing several major lawsuits, including an investigation by the US Department of Justice.

Turning Water Into Butter

‘Turning water into butter’ is a Haitian colloquialism for overcoming the impossible. It is the affirmation that we have the power to rise above any external circumstances to achieve our desires in life.

However, this book is not about a rag-to-riches tale or acquiring material possessions. Through sharing his journey, Sammy hopes to extend an invitation to some and offer encouragement to others to create the masterpiece that we are meant to be.

In life, ‘stuff’—as they say—happens, and there is no one among us who is immune from career setbacks, heartbreak, illness, or the death of a loved one. These setbacks and unexpected turns are ‘the water’ available to us for the ultimate act of alchemy: unfolding and harnessing the power within us.

This is much more than a book about resilience; it’s about going far beyond mere survival or recovery and living our best life by becoming the best version of who Life intended us to be.
