Noah's best friend is his mum and together they have had many great adventures, fought the most perilous of battles against evil and created spectacular fantasies in lands both near and far.
--------------
That is, until his mum is diagnosed with a brain tumour and his entire world falls apart, bringing down all of their fantasies with it.
This is a coming of age story, starting from when Noah is almost ten and ending when he enters adulthood, where he is faced with the harsh realities of growing up and coming to terms with his mum's illness. His sister, far older than him, is tired of the dream-like bubble he and his mum have created together and is insistent on breaking it.
However, they must learn from each other on how to cope with the situation they are faced with and how to support each other no matter what happens.

Life, Love & A Little Coffee
Graduation is right around the corner for Ada Sinclair. She's spent all of high school saving up for her dream college and skipped high school traditions to keep her grades up for scholarships. When the acceptance letter came in the mail, every ounce of her effort felt worth it. She's spent her life being a small fish in a small pond, but eagerly awaits September so she can spread her wings and move on to big things. When her mother comes home to reveal she is in the early stages of Huntington's Disease, a disease passed down from her own mother, she can't hide from the truth she may be next in line. It is then that her plans and dreams for her future shatter. Nothing is more important to her than her family, people who need her and her strength more than Ada needs her dreams. Not knowing how much time she has left with her mother, she makes the choice to remain at home and has no regrets. Only the fear of uncertainty. Feeling like the world is crashing down on her, Ada turns to the man who's been there for her for the last four years. He'd given her the confidence she needed to become the woman she is now, held her while she cried and has been there through every struggle she's faced. He seems fully willing to be there for her again, even if that means risking his career as a teacher; her teacher. As their friendship grows stronger, they find strength in one another and a connection they can only ignore for so long, a connection that comes with life-changing consequences for them both.Complete
