Reviews
"This book really grabbed me. I felt for Danny having to go through so much at such a young age. She never lost hope, stayed strong, and stayed brave. I loved that there were spiritual aspects to the book. Our youth need to hear more of love, hope, and faith." —Hidden Gems Reviewer

About the Orphan Dreamer Saga
What if Indiana Jones were a naive girl born into a close-knit African-American family in the South—a girl destined to solve her own DA VINCI CODE but who would rather simply overcome the provincialism of her community and find her own ANNE-OF-GREEN-GABLES-style bosom friend?
The Orphan Dreamer Saga will show Daniela as a spirited girl struggling with isolation, the mean girls at school, and a sick father at home when she is chosen to warn humanity of the impending apocalypse. But who will believe her—a girl who barely speaks and cannot even score a kindred friend?
Born on the same day, an ocean separates Daniela and Cillian until destiny introduces a depressive schizophrenic girl to an orphan boy inside Daniela's chaotic dreams. Is the orphan boy real? If he's not real, does it matter in humanity's fight for survival?
The ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA is a seven-novel serial interspersed with seven novellas that intertwine three tales across time and space and tells a sweeping fantastical story, spiced with thrills, stark realities, and comedy. This epic tale weaves an intricate tapestry of divine guidance, faith, isolation, hope, and loss as it follows two children from their beginnings to their ends.
