Overview

"One boy. One girl. One mission―to protect Earth from its previous occupants. Where will you live if they fail? Meet the girl, Daniela Rose Cavanaugh, a preteen modern-day Indiana Jones, who must come to terms with her destiny, avoid getting committed to the psychiatric ward, endure nightmares about a mysterious boy, deal with the mean girls at school, and save the world by hunting through the past to uncover clues hidden before the dawn of time. Easy, right? It would be, if she wasn't just an awkward thirteen-year-old girl with knobby knees, curly hair, brown skin, and nosebleeds. She's certainly no one special in the eyes of her classmates, who either bully or remain indifferent to her, and until now, her only quests in life have been to become the youngest medical student at her dream school and to find a kindred spirit. However, her destiny has already been decided, and it doesn't include friendship bracelets. After her thirteenth birthday, Daniela must juggle going to school, caring for a sick father and solving an ancient puzzle that will protect her friends--and enemies--from a dark, biblical-sized force that seeks to eradicate humans from Earth. Will Daniela give up and stop fighting for the kindred spirit her heart is destined for--leaving him unprotected and doomed to certain death--or will she rise to the challenge and meet her destiny head-on? If you knew your ending, how would you have lived your beginning? Continue reading Daniela's story in the Orphan Dreamer Saga―a transcontinental sweeping fantastical story where ANNE OF GREEN GABLES meets THE DA VINCI CODE, OUTLANDER, and WAR ROOM. A twist of fate alters the destiny of an orphan boy and the future of humanity in this epic journey that defies time and takes the reader from 1018 B.C. into a future of ""what if's"" in the first full-length novel of the series, ORPHAN DREAMER AND THE GLASS TATTOO."

Reviews Every now and then you come across a book that takes your breath away. Amazon Reader Heartwarming and tragic . . . Chanticleer Book Reviews Their (Daniela's and Cillian's) childhoods make for an uncomfortable telling, but they stick in the mind. For these two characters alone, readers may take a leap of faith. A challenging exploration of otherness and self-belief. Kirkus Reviews This story weaves around two pivotal souls one in Ireland (and England) and one in America. Worlds apart, yet intertwined . . . Heather G., Reader Epic, nicely wrought, evocative. E. Davis, Book Reviewer Not since the first time I read the Da Vinci Code have I been so thoroughly engrossed in a suspense novel. Book Reviewer, Bibliophile As book editor and Judaic consultant for J. Nell Brown's novel--THE ORPHAN DREAMER AND THE GLASS TATTOO--I journeyed with the author's characters through an amazing story, crossing broad time eras, difficult (and sometimes disturbing) life encounters, cultural divides, and spiritual dimensions. The story is solid; the message impactful. It gets into your heart and causes you to evaluate your thoughts on human relations, race, individual purpose/destiny, and spiritual issues. Ann Castro, Book Editor This saga has taken me on a roller-coaster ride. There was no such thing as a sagging middle. Great job with plotting. I couldn't have come up with something this intense, emotion-packed, and in-depth. Jeanne M., Inspirational Author A masterful story that displays the natural and supernatural worlds. It is riveting, thought-provoking, and relevant for the time in which we live. You become captivated as you feel and perceive the emotions and motives of the characters. You won't want to put this book down! Reader Brown has crafted a dense and rather abstruse novel, tackling themes of belonging and deprivation within a sprawling nonlinear narrative. Kirkus Reviews
