The thrilling conclusion to my fictional story about BYU couple Parker and Alyssa. Will they get married? Will she stay in the church? Will he? What's gonna happen?!?!?
You writing fiction deconstructing my childhood beliefs is my new favorite genre. Thank you for all your work with this. It was fun and beautiful. Now I’m just sitting over here with my buckets of paint trying to figure out where to splatter them. I’m not entirely sure where my Maryland is, but I’m figuring it out.
You tied it up perfectly! Sad but hopeful for both Parker and Alyssa. This reminds me of the LDS book Charlie, except with a much happier ending in my views. :) thank you for sharing and putting so many of our experiences into writing.
I have been looking forward to this so much. This one hits so close. I don't have the words, but I do have the tears. I would love this all put together. I will be rereading several more times. My heart is absolutely broken for my teenage and young adult self and my husband's.
Thank you for all the thought and time you spent working on Alyssa and Parker’s story. It made me happy to see how much life, hope, and joy you infused in this series. I’ve read it twice now because it felt so cathartic. I was very much like Parker and wore my guilt for too long. It took me a long time to come to terms with my humanity and allow myself tenderness. I sincerely hope you keep writing. ❤️
Great story Celeste! You have a gift! It was a sad, beautiful, and thoughtful ending. I loved all the thrills and tenderness and spirituality mixed in as well. I hope you keep writing stories like this. It was just a treat to get this in my in box today!
Thank you so much for all your support Liz!! This was such a fun new way of writing for me, it opened up some room for new creativity in the future for sure!

Thank you Ames! My Mom was always trying to get me to read Charlie, but I never did. Maybe for the best so I wasn't too influenced by it ;)
Haha as a teenager I went through a spell of not believing in God and my Mom paid me $20 for every church related book I read.

What a perfect ending! Loved reading through this story.

I just want to give Parker a hug. And high five Alyssa. What a beautiful and hopeful ending (but so sad it has ended!).
Same!! Thank you Amy!!!

Now we need a part 5, where Parker leaves everything behind and moves to Maryland to be with his true love😉
Okay PERFECT ending. Goddamn that was a great read. Thank you so much for writing that for us and our healing/catharsis!
