Emily Parks is a newcomer to the small town of Mountain Grove, Virginia, where she lives with her alcoholic mother, father, and grandmother. When she has a problem at school she learns the townspeople she has met are willing to step in and help her. They give her advice, support, and something she has never received before…love. With their help, Emily begins to plan for the life she wants and a way to escape from the world her parents have created. When Emily’s parents leave her in the middle of the night, she must make some quick decisions. Her unusual solution takes everyone in the village by surprise. Meet the often quirky people of Mountain Grove and join Emily and her friends as they find their way in this confusing and often unfair world..
Praise for Emily’s House
As a therapist, I have seen how kids need a village of helpers. The entertaining cast of characters keeps the reader engaged, feeling the love they have for Emily and learning the lessons alongside her. Emily’s House offers hope and insight on how to create a better life for yourself, regardless of the hand you’ve been dealt.
~Tami Olesen, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
This book is a must read for those that have lost hope, question God, or believe that life can’t be different. Sharon’s words and interwoven life teachings get you excited about the idea that things never have to stay the way they began and how the power of your choice can give you the feeling of belonging you need and future you choose.
~ Tara Rudolph, Life Coach and Founder of She Shifts Culture
There is a balance of sorrow, tragedy and hope, but Sharon Armstrong’s story lends hope to our chaotic world. The blessings and curses of Emily’s family give way to the big hearts of the people of Mountain Grove, and Emily is well on her way to having the house she hopes for, someday. I am looking forward to the sequel, or better yet, the series!
~ Kathy Anderson, Superintendent/Principal (retired)
There must be a sequel! The reader must know who and what Emily allowed in her future house as an adult, and to see how she will keep her promise to Ike, the owner of Good Eats, and be part of the Pass It Along Club. Emily’s House, a Christian fiction, is perfect for female teens and adults.
