Love at first sight is rare, but for Thea and Charlie it is a lifetime of love in a handful of moments. They had met many years ago, when Thea was much younger, merely a surly teen in an orphanage. Charlie had come sweeping into her life much like a storm and changed Thea's entire world with a single song. For a teen that had never known love and a child that had lost love, they seemed to complete each other perfectly. When Charlie gets adopted, however, things change, and not for the better. Thea promised to find Charlie when she was older and then they could be the family they had always wanted. Years later, when Thea is finally old enough to keep her promise, Charlie is nowhere to be found. Follow Thea in her adventure through Charlie's past and discover the life of a lost child in this story of true love, loss, and adventure. Bonds are tested and dreams are shattered, but maybe, just maybe, there can be happy ending to a life as dismal as Thea's.

The Journey The Only Survivors
The worldwide disappearance of all living creatures, after the catastrophic storm, brings Kyara to the brink of despair as she and her siblings go on a miraculous journey through time. Everything changes the day of the storm. Time is lost. People are taken. And an unnatural silence settles over the land. Kyara and her three siblings seem to wake up to a normal life, but what is normal can never be normal again after that night's storm. Not when everyone in the world disappears, except Kyara and her three siblings, the only ones left in the sacred world. As they try to find out why everyone disappeared, they come across a time machine disguised in a cell phone. They travel first to the time when Jesus is born, in hope that they can find help from Him. But in each time after, they not only become vulnerable, but they also almost give up hope; for they lose the phone in every era they visit. While they journey through time, they learn about history, and how they can change it; they learn about faith, and how they can strengthen it; and they especially learn about love, and how they can protect it. The Journey The Only Survivors, by A.M. Parrish, is a captivating story that everyone, not only Christians, can learn what it is to live by faith and live with love. This is a published book out in several different stores. It is in Barnes N Noble, Amazon.com, and Apple books, etc. This is the first to a trilogy. The second one is also published and is called The Journey The Malevolent Curse. NOTE: Though this may seem like a Christian and faith book, it is actually not. This is a trilogy and the third, when it is published, will explain the entire story! So get excited!Complete
All I Know
Sometimes love is more about the learning curves than the fairytale "Happily Ever After". Because often the world shows us how unkind it can be, how the notion of "good things happen to bad people' actually breathes true. Good people are often the ones with the most scars and disappointments but even with those battle wounds, they are still willing to pursue love. Sometimes it is the people that have been hurt the most, who love the hardest and are intentional in their love. So as hard and painful as these experiences are, these are the chapters that build you, remove the rose-colored glasses from your eyes, and present you with reality... you can choose to harden or to soften to the standards of this world. Follow David and Amelia on their journey, in the most unconventional of places and it changes the way they view the world forever. All events in this book are fictional. Some instances such as events and characters may be based on real life but nothing is 100% factual.
Love At First Flight (Short Story)
Have you ever just looked around in a room full of people and suddenly someone caught your eye. When you studied that person from afar, or up close, watching their mannerisms and personality, you just couldn't help but feel like, "He/She could be the one." (Hannah Montana reference) The person that you're meant to be with. The person God, or fate, chose for you to be your soulmate. You could literally meet them anywhere at any time in any situation, and you'd instantly feel a connection that draws you to want to learn more about them and be someone important to them. Now think about all the thousands of people who travel through an international airport in one day. Wouldn't it make sense if two complete strangers were able to meet each other in an airport and turn out to be soulmates?Complete

They soon start to question their priorities and why in the world they let their friendship fall apart so long ago. Can their relationship, still so young and fragile, withstand what's ahead?Complete

"Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there." What happens when your child is taught to hate you? When Sienna falls in love, she embraces her partner's young daughters, Adele and Nina, with an open heart. But her dream of a happy, blended family is fragile.

Told from the unique and often silent perspective of a stepmother, this poignant memoir exposes the devastating reality of parental alienation and the profound grief of mourning children who are still alive. Yet, Hope is a Gentle Flicker is ultimately a story of courageous love. It is a testament to getting lost in order to be found anew, and to the unwavering commitment of a father and stepmother who choose to love in the face of rejection, protecting that fragile flicker of hope day after day, year after year, waiting to be a family again.
