Freya is seventeen when her mother passes away. A visitor named cancer had not been a stranger to their family and had set foot in their warm home as an unwanted guest. With her father being unable to accept his wife's death and Freya feeling captured within the walls of her home, she feels there must be more to life than living with a mentally absent father and the ghost of her mother. The journey she undertakes is one of self-discovery, of tripping over and seeing the fragmented existence she leads, finding the meaning of true love, but most importantly, realizing that life beholds something far more magical. Something she had before been too blind to see.

A Sister To You
When Freya Green committed suicide at seventeen years old, her older sister, Saffron Price (formally Saffron Green) needed to know if she was the reason. To say the Green sisters had it rough growing up would be an understatement. They traveled from home to home in the foster system until finally being adopted by their reckless aunt, who couldn't give them much other than a roof over their heads. Being eight years older, Saffron was quick to take on the role of motherhood over her sister Freya. This ended when Saffron married at eighteen and moved across the country, leaving ten-year-old Freya to fend for herself and spend the rest of her childhood and coming-of-age years alone. Going back to the trailer park in Bakersfield, where the Green sisters spent their last years together and, also, where Freya took her life, Saffron sets off with a quest to get to know her sister all over again. She seeks out the foster homes they lived in, revisits old family members, and questions everyone Freya knew. Each person she questions brings her closer to discovering Freya's deepest darkest secrets, and the reasons she had for committing suicide. Written in second person, A SISTER TO YOU explores in depth the stages of grief and the strength of the human psyche.Complete

Saved By Love
Haunted by the ghosts of wars she never believed in, former Marine Milk has retreated from the world to live in the icy solitude of Alaska. With only her loyal dog Noah for company, she spends her days patrolling the snow-covered wilderness, hunting to stay sharp, and venturing into the village once a week for a reminder of human connection. It's safer this way-no one to protect, no one to lose. But when she hears a faint cry for help echoing across the desolate expanse, her carefully constructed world begins to crack. Milk discovers a young woman lying injured at the bottom of a ravine. The girl's presence is as inexplicable as it is unsettling-thinly dressed for the brutal cold, her body marked with bruises and scars, and her dark, frightened eyes revealing a story she won't tell. Unable to leave the girl to fend for herself, Milk takes her back to the cabin she's called home for years. Slowly, carefully, Milk begins to care for her injuries and tries to earn her trust. The girl doesn't speak-not her name, not the truth of where she came from or what she's running from-but Milk senses in her a kindred spirit, someone equally wounded by the past. What begins as an act of survival turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected-a fragile, aching kind of love that feels as dangerous as it does necessary. In saving Love, Milk begins to save herself, rediscovering the pieces of her humanity she thought she'd lost forever. Set against the stark beauty of Alaska, Saved by Love is a story of survival, healing, and the redemptive power of connection. It's a reminder that even in the most frozen of landscapes, love can find a way to bloom.
Just Grey: In a Black & White World
"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!Complete
