The Adventures of Mulberry Manor, Book 1: The Beginning of the End (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988403784)

When Jade and Teddy's father leaves to search for their mother, they are dropped off in a suburb outside of nowhere, at a mansion called Mulberry Manor, being watched after by eclectic family friends they have never met. It doesn't take long for them to realize there is much more to this mansion and this town than meets the eye. Lines between fiction and reality and the natural and supernatural become blurred as the brother and sister quickly realize they are in grave danger. And while there are some in the town that are there to protect them, there may be more that want to destroy them. With the help of new (and possibly other-worldly) allies, Jade and Teddy need to solve the mystery of Mulberry Manor before it is too late.

The Adventures of Mulberry Manor reminds readers that it is never too early or too late to be the hero of our own stories and that service to and sacrifice for others are never given in vain. It also weaves in the thread of disallowing cynicism into our lives and realizing there is more to this world than just what we can see. Through a continually unfolding mystery, heartwarming characters, and subtle life lessons, we are reminded that while discernment is important in today's world, empathy is needed just as much, if not more. This story helps us to discover the limitless power that comes from friends, family, and faith.
