Your Pregnancy, Your Way: Everything You Need to Know about Natural Pregnancy and Childbirth

"As an OB/GYN, Dr. Allison Hill has delivered thousands of babies; as a mom, she's given birth to her own two children. Hill has a unique perspective on the many questions moms have surrounding pregnancy and childbirth—especially when it comes to 'going natural.' Drawing on her twenty years of expertise as well as current medical data, she weighs the pros and cons of the range of options available—hospital or birthing center; MD or midwife. Covering everything from understanding a doctor's bias to medical interventions (what's necessary—and what's not) to home births, Hill debunks common myths and provides insight into hot-button issues and a keen look into why doctors do what they do. Your Pregnancy, Your Way helps parents-to-be achieve a safe and healthy delivery."

Astray (Gated Sequel)

"This-a sequel to Gated-is a nerve-fraying contemporary young adult thriller that will make readers question loyalties as it twists truths.   Her life was based on a lie. Lyla Hamilton almost died escaping the Community. In her new life, the outsiders call the Community a cult. They don't understand how easy it was to believe. How good it felt to belong. "Normal" life-high school and dating-is harder than Lyla expected.   Who should she love? Who should she hate? The Community is willing to do terrible things to bring her back to the fold. The members are still preaching Pioneer's twisted message that the end of the world is near. Pulled in two directions and unsure which way to turn, Lyla risks everything to follow her heart, but can she uncover the Community's plan before it's too late?   Lyla's escape was only the beginning.   Praise for Gated and Astray "A tense psychological thriller that will leave you gasping for breath as you race to the very last page." -Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten   "An awesome, creepy book that reminds me of my favorite cult films." -HelloGiggles.com   * "Parker doesn't pull punches, indicating a level of brutality that will appropriately disturb even as it successfully conveys Lyla's complete entrapment in the Community. Compelling and not that distant from real-world cults that have ended in tragedy." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred   "A complex, intriguing tale rooted in real-world events." -Publishers Weekly "A good choice for reluctant readers. After the last page is turned, the question will linger: 'Could I ever be deceived like this?' " -School Library Journal    "A well-rounded and thorough look into cults while still remaining entertaining throughout. I look forward to reading more of Parker's works in the future." -Examiner.com"

Gated

"A fast-paced, nerve-fraying contemporary thriller that questions loyalties and twists truths.   Appearances can be deceiving.   Lyla Hamilton is a loyal member of the Community. Her family was happy to be chosen by Pioneer to join such an lovely gated neighborhood. Here, life seems perfect.   But after meeting Cody, an outsider boy, Lyla starts questioning Pioneer, her friends, her family--everything. And if there's one thing not allowed in the Community, it's doubt. As Pioneer cleverly manipulates his flock toward disaster, the real question is: Will Lyla follow her heart or follow Pioneer over the edge? From the outside looking in, it's hard to understand why anyone would join a cult. But Gated tells the story from the inside looking out, and from behind the gates things are not quite so simple. Amy Christine Parker's beautiful writing creates a chilling, utterly unique YA story. Perfect for fans of creepy thrillers and contemporary fiction alike. 'A tense psychological thriller that will leave you gasping for breath as you race to the very last page.' --Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten HelloGiggles.com, August 3, 2013: 'When I found out that there was a YA book about cults, of course I had to read it. As it turns out, Amy Christine Parker's Gated is an awesome, creepy book that reminds me of my favorite cult films while still being surprising.' Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, June 15, 2013: 'Parker doesn't pull punches, indicating a level of brutality that will appropriately disturb even as it successfully conveys Lyla's complete entrapment in the Community. Compelling and not that distant from real-world cults that have ended in tragedy.' Publishers Weekly, June 10, 2013: 'Parker skillfully explores the mindset and inner workings of an apocalyptic cult, steadily building toward the inevitable moment of truth...As for the apocalypse itself, Parker keeps things suitably ambiguous, resulting in a complex, intriguing tale rooted in real-world events.' School Library Journal, October 2013: 'This well-plotted tale will allow readers a glimpse into the possible world of a doomsday cult...The language is accessible, making it a good choice for reluctant readers. After the last page is turned, the question will linger: 'Could I ever be deceived like this?''
