Author Samuel L. Mills, also known as SLMILLS, will release 'My Letter 4 My Love' later this year, a deeply personal book that examines love through lived experience, emotional honesty, and conscious commitment. Written as a continuous letter to a beloved partner, the work blends memoir, romance, and spiritual introspection to trace emotional development shaped by childhood adversity, fractured relationships, and a search for unconditional connection.
The narrative moves through themes of emotional neglect, marriage, heartbreak, healing, and the eventual arrival at a relationship rooted in reciprocity and trust. What began as private reflections evolved into a structured literary work organized around emotional milestones including fear, comfort, intimacy, devotion, and growth. Throughout the book, Mills presents love as an intentional and sustained practice, emphasizing honesty, accountability, and emotional presence.
Mills challenges the notion of partial commitment in relationships and reflects on masculinity and emotional expression, suggesting that vulnerability and strength are complementary rather than opposing qualities. The book stands as both a declaration of devotion and an invitation to emotional openness, particularly encouraging honest conversation among men. Mills hopes the work will resonate with readers who believe in the possibility of true love, whether they have found it or are still seeking it.
Beyond his writing, Mills is the founder of BIGA BRAND LLC, established in 2017 as the parent company of BIGABRAND Clothing Co. The brand, standing for 'Be Independent Get Ahead,' was created to amplify the voices of introverts and individuals pursuing success through expressive art, messaging, and apparel. Mills has also spent more than 20 years working as a longshoreman with Greenwich Terminals LLC, operating machinery and contributing to port operations in the Philadelphia area.
