Discovering the Moon follows the story of a soon-to-be fifteen-year-old girl named Fern who lives on the remote Orkney Islands in northern Scotland. Fern explores what it means to reach her fifteenth birthday as well as what it means to be in charge of her own spiritual destiny by having deep spiritual conversations with her loving family members. These conversations focus on discussing the Long Obligatory Prayer, a prayer that every Bahá'í over the age of fifteen is required to recite, and through study she ultimately discovers her own sense of purpose. In the Bahá'í Faith, the age of fifteen marks the end of childhood and the beginning of an individual's sole responsibility for the progression of their spiritual existence. Discovering the Moon asks deep questions and challenges readers, in a relatable and gentle way, to live up to the teachings and expectations of their own religious beliefs the same way that Fern does upon turning fifteen.

Discovering the Sun follows Fern, a fifteen-year-old girl who has grown up on the remote Orkney Islands of northern Scotland, who is preparing to leave home for the first time to attend boarding school. Faced with the prospect of being away from the familiarity of her loving family, she is apprehensive about what lies ahead. She is also preparing to take part in the nineteen-day Bahai Fast for the first time. Concerned that she will be an outsider because of her faith, Fern soon makes friends with a number of classmates and discovers that she is not the only one who comes from a slightly different background. She also comes to learn that the Fast cannot only be a source of nourishment for her and for others, but that tests and blessings can come from some unexpected directions. Along the way, Fern learns much about the Muslim faith from her friend, Rana, and discusses the Bible and Christianity with her roommate, Ingrid. Fern also finds that, although many of her classmates think its strange that she is participating in the Bahai Fast, they seem to respect her commitment to it. She spends much of her time in deep thought and contemplation, and ultimately grows to know herself better as a result of her experience.

AIREL is a young adult paranormal story about an angel who falls so deeply in love with a woman that he chooses to fall from heaven to be with her. She gives birth to a daughter in Arabia, 1250BC. The girl is pursued ferociously, relentlessly by an enemy in the deepest darkness. In present day, Boise, Idaho is just a girl: Airel. She's just your average high school student...who turns out to be anything but average. It's because of who she is, because of her ancestry, because of her lineage. Past and present crash in on each other in the final pages as what has been twisted comes dangerously unraveled.

Fern discusses the religions of the past, and the ways in which disunity seemed to arise among their followers after the passing of the Prophets and Founders of the religions. With the help of her family members and friends, Fern studies the wills of Bahaullah, the Prophet and Founder of the Bahai Faith, and Abdul-Baha, the eldest son and appointed successor of Bahaullah, and comes to appreciate the unique and significant Covenant made between Bahaullah and His followers. Over the course of the summer, Fern also spends time with Callum, a classmate who is staying nearby to work on his uncle's fishing boat.. The two develop a close and meaningful friendship and together explore the spiritual concepts that Fern is grappling with.

Fern is on the verge of turning fifteen, a significant milestone in her life as a young Baha'i. In Fern's Faith, the age of fifteen represents the age of spiritual maturity — a time when she will leave childhood behind and take responsibility for the progress of her own spiritual existence. As she ponders the significance of her upcoming birthday, she engages her friends and family members in a series of deep and meaningful conversations. Much of their time is spent reading and discussing passages from the Long Obligatory Prayer, one of three prayers that every Baha'i over the age of fifteen is required to choose from and recite daily. These discussions cause Fern to think deeply about the mysteries of existence as well as about her own life and future.
