J. Nell Brown

Her family was to be her legacy until an angry mob murdered her only son.

North Carolina farm owner Gertrude Smith had dreamed of leaving a legacy—raising hardworking and socially-conscious children who would parent her grandchildren to become people who would change the world for the better. But hope faded when her unmarried son died tragically in the racially charged 1960s—then completely vanished when her only surviving child, a daughter, remained childless after marriage for twenty years. 

That is, until Gertrude received a phone call from her forty-year-old daughter: “Momma, next summer you’re going to become a grandmother! And not to just any baby—but one with a divine mission.”

A special child. 

A dreamer.

A baby girl.

But will another tragedy strike and bury Gertrude’s dreams for an eternity, taking with it the seedling of her legacy, erasing the stories of her ancestors, and stopping a quiet Southern woman from leaving her mark on America—and maybe even the world?

Continue The Orphan Dreamer Saga―a transcontinental sweeping story where ANNE OF GREEN GABLES meets THE DA VINCI CODE inside the WAR ROOM when a twist of fate changes Daniela's dreams then impacts the destiny of an orphan and the future of humanity.

She Laughs Last: An Orphan Dreamer Short Story

Could Earth’s apocalypse really be worse than puberty for Daniela Rose—a depressive schizophrenic girl destined to meet a mysterious orphan boy who haunts her chaotic dreams?

One girl.

One boy.

One mission. To protect their home—Earth—from invasion by the planet’s previous occupants. 

Meet the girl of this unlikely duo in ORPHAN DREAMER and the MISSING ARROWHEAD when destiny chooses a twelve-year-old depressive schizophrenic to bring order to Earth’s chaos. 

Ironic?

Miracles usually are.

Daniela is 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? As Earth sits in the crosshairs of a sinister force, Daniela must slip between three realities to find an arrowhead gifted to her by a prince—the missing link that can save her family and Earth.

Listen to the Orphan Dreamer Saga—a seven-novel serial interspersed with seven novellas that intertwines three tales across time and space. This epic story weaves an intricate tapestry of Divine guidance, faith, isolation, hope, and loss as it follows two children from their beginnings to their ends. 

If you knew your ending, how would you have lived your beginning?

Orphan Dreamer and the Missing Arrowhead: A Novella

J Nell Brown

". . . a sprawling nonlinear narrative." ―Kirkus Reviews

One snowflake falls from heaven to quench hell's thirst. I am that snowflake. I am the Orphan Dreamer destined to quench the fiery thirst of an orphan. Told in the style of the hit TV show, THIS IS US, the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA is a fantastical and modern-day retelling of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES meets THE DA VINCI CODE when 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." 

One boy. One girl. One mission―to protect Earth from its previous occupants. Where will you live if they fail? Meet the girl, Daniela, 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, 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?

So buckle up and continue reading the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA—an eschatological fantastical coming-of-age thriller tucked into the stories of children entrusted with a Divine mission and answer: What makes the main villain of the Orphan Dreamer Saga tick in this short story?

It's almost Hanukkah then Christmas. Only a year ago, a Jewish family, the Bushcrofts, escaped Nazi Germany. The date is December 11, 1941.

Asher Bushcroft is twelve-years-old, short, and a social outcast. His sister, Natalia, is sixteen, breathtaking, a gifted violinist, and a dancer. They are inseparable, or so it seems.

Nomed vows to assist Asher in his lustful adventure in return for a favor—murder two children to prevent them from thwarting Nomed's plans for world domination.

Will the children survive? If they don't, will you survive?

OUTLANDER and DOWNTON ABBEY fans will adore LITTLE PEACH LIES―a PG historical (time-travel) romance and the ninth installment of the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA set against the backdrop of Scotland's famed Saint Andrews University and the Queen of England's Scotland residence, Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Charlotte Cairstine McDonald, the soon-to-be Duchess of the Isles of Caithness, is about to learn that even in 1967, it's dangerous to be born a royal. Especially if that royal—a. k. a. Charlotte—is hiding a secret… one that could end her engagement to a dreamy English duke.

While alone on Saint Andrew's seaside bluff, Charlotte drifts into sleep and is transported from her 1960’s reality to 1567 Scotland―an era when her secret would have guaranteed a trip to the executioner's dungeon.

Charlotte encounters her great ancestor, Queen Mary of Scotland, who sounds a dire warning to her future heiress. But will Charlotte solve the clue before she loses her head no differently than Queen Mary?

The stakes are much higher than Charlotte realizes—beyond her stained reputation or abandonment by the royal family. History might be irreparably changed.

Even if Charlotte survives the Dark Ages, a real and present threat still exists that can derail the future Orphan Dreamer's mission to help humanity and find her essential sidekick—her kindred-spirit Emmaline, Charlotte's future daughter.

Brew your favorite tea and snuggle up with a historical (time-travel) romance: LITTLE PEACH LIES, the fifth short story (episode nine) in the Orphan Dreamer Saga.
