Please Read:
Last year I read a novel that inspired me, and changed my life.
'Samson and Sunset' by Dorothy Annie Schritt, is an epic drama, spanning nearly two decades in the lives of Callie and Shay Westover.
Synopsis: Callie is from 'the wrong side of the tracks' ; a virgin in every sense of the word. After a date takes a dark turn, she is with child. Soon after, she meets the very popular Shay. He is popular, handsome and charming, and sweeps Kathrine ( he nicknames her Callie) off her feet.

Together, they face obstacles, supporting eachother and making eachother better and stronger.

PURELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT: I made this video as a tribute to this remarkable story, as well as my favorite actors, actresses, films and music.

I do not own any of these clips or the music. Made with love for all who believe in true love. 'Samson and Sunset' will make you believe in true love again.

  • Hey fans, I wrote a comment a few days ago that I wanted to read the book again after seeing this video, ( and I did ). Everything came to life like I was a part of the story. The second time I read the book. I cry when I watch this video and now I did also when I read the book. again. All I have to say is Lifetime and Hallmark networks, you better snap this story up, before someone else gets it. I have watched your movies for years and I think this is one story you need to put into film.

  • @horsesruleforever55 This absolutely, HAS to be a film! I like the way you think! Over on the facebook fanpage we've got our Callie and Shay. I think we should start getting our cast listing up!

    Please join and share your opinions with us. :)

  • A fascinating video of romance and passion at its best. Samson and Sunset tugs at your heart strings with tragedy and emotion, and this brings it to life. Wonderful tribute to the talented author. To the creator of this video, "First Class"

  • @Mikemcl1943 Ms. Schritt is a true inspiration! My greatest hope is that this video can honor this amazing story.

  • This is the most heart felt book I have read in a long time.  Then to see the video with the characters coming to life, and it made me want to read this book again. This novel should be made into a movie so we can watch a true old fashioned love story that never seems to exist anymore. If this video and this book can't touch your heart,(then nothing can). Hats off to the author of the book and to the creator of this video.

  • @horsesruleforever55 This book brought me back to reading. I had to make this video. I've seen the images in my mind, and felt them in my heart for so long. Thank you SO much for your comment. Ms. Schritt is an amazing author, who inspires with her words, taking us along for a journey of growth, passion and devotion.

    It was my honor to make this video, for all of the joy Ms. Shcritt's words have given to me.

see all

  • Thank you, auPretender, for making this tribute video. An amazing job and it took so much talent and time to make, it certainly shows that it was made from your heart. Your choices of movies, music and books, its is obvious all these characters play a big part in your life as they do mine. All of the credited artists should feel honored and enjoy it. It is a huge part of who we are. Each artist is worth their weight in gold. Again, Thank You, auPretender for your love of the arts,

  • Oh my...I love the video!! And of course, Yes I cryed..I know the writer and a fabulous job well done isnt enough I can say..I love her & she is very talented & has the BEST stories of her past. I could listen to her tell me all day!! :)

  • I love this video, it is so heartfelt and touching, to what real love is all about.

    Since I don't know how to do this, could someone please send this video to Ellen, The Doctors, Own Channel, Doc. Phil, and Doctor Laura. They need to see this touching video, the love between a wife and husband. The way love and marriage can be so sensual, it can survive all obstacles. I tell you they need to read this novel.

  • It's a very beautiful video. Dottie has a very unique writing style and the novel was a great tribute to the story. It brings the warmth and the heart of the meaning out. It basically combined all of the essentials and feeling into one with a great track that suited it perfectly.

  • OMG, where have they been hiding this novel. I saw this beautiful video, my favorite stars, and my favorite singer, I found myself in a daze. What a tribute to these artists, where is this author hiding. It was like my best friend just telling me about her life, (life in the 60s and 70s), at first it seemed very good, but moved a bit slow, then I hit chapters 12, 13, 14. I spent the whole night up, I couldn't put it down. Someone, maybe even me, must send this to the the Oprah Book Club.
