The book, Remembering Sam Simmons: A Community Sheriff, is about Samuel C. Simmons, a 29-year lawman with the Greenville County Sheriffs Office. It focuses on the years from 1997-2002, when Sam held high ranking positions such as Chief Deputy, before being elected Sheriff in 2000. Sam served as Sheriff from January 1, 2001, to September 4, 2002, when he died unexpectedly from clogged arteries and a heart attack. The book includes interviews with numerous county leaders, such as Mr. Paul Wickensimer, Greenville County Clerk of Court; Ms. Lottie Gibson, Greenville County Councilwoman and civil rights advocate; and Belmont Fire Chief Anthony Segars, who is also a deputy coroner, and former president of the Greenville County Fire Chiefs Association.

It is a love story of the deep and rare love between Sam and the author, his wife Mona.
