Seven Days Seven Dates: A Kwanzaa Holiday Story
Bailey West

Samar ‘Sam’ Harding, pragmatic and guarded after a painful breakup, isn’t looking for a fairytale. But as a close friend of the Brightons, he takes a leap of faith, willing to see where this week of shared experiences and reflection might lead.
Over seven days, as Annie and Sam navigate moments of doubt and discovery, they begin to question their pasts and imagine new futures. From unity to purpose, each principle of Kwanzaa pushes them closer to healing—and to each other. What began as a simple matchmaking experiment blossoms into a profound journey of love, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace the unexpected. Together, they might just find the connection they didn’t know they were searching for—and rewrite their stories forever.
