Our Stories
Welcome to our shared bookshelf — a collection of novels and memoirs that explore the soul, the struggle, and the beauty of rising.
JORDAN AVERY
Jordan Avery is a writer, educator, and multigenerational caregiver whose voice is rooted in the lived experience of Generation X. A graduate of Arizona State University, she holds a degree in education and has spent more than two decades building programs that support students, young adults, and families navigating real-world challenges.
Her journey raising Alpha kids, mentoring Millennials, and caring for aging parents-forms the heart of her work. Jordan writes with warmth, wisdom, and sharp Gen X humor, helping readers find clarity and connection in the chaos of modern family life.
Her books offer practical guidance, relatable stories, and just enough sarcasm to feel like a conversation with your most insightful (and exhausted) friend. Whether you’re parenting backward and forward or simply trying to keep your sanity intact, Jordan’s work reminds us that legacy is built one honest moment at a time.
When she’s not writing, she’s likely sipping reheated coffee, untangling tech for her elders, or wondering how she became the family group-text translator.
ALEXA REED
Alexa Reed is a mentor, speaker, and unapologetic teen advocate who calls the Midwest home—even if her heart belongs to the beach. With a background in adolescent development and years spent working directly with youth programs, Alexa has a gift for translating tough conversations into empowering, relatable messages that teens actually want to hear.
Her writing speaks to the young person who's trying to figure it all out—or at least fake it convincingly. Whether you're navigating high school drama, your first heartbreak, or the chaos of group chats and growing up too fast, Alexa’s voice cuts through the noise with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of heart.
Raised in a blended family and shaped by years of community outreach, Alexa brings empathy and edge to everything she creates. Her stories and guidance are grounded in real-life experience, written to remind teens that they're not alone—and that strength doesn’t mean perfection. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is ask the hard questions and keep showing up.
When she’s not writing, you’ll find Alexa leading teen workshops, hunting for the perfect iced coffee, or binge-listening to mental health podcasts with her rescue dog at her feet.
JENNY LOWERY
Jenny Lowery is a storyteller, humorist, and Gen X truth-teller based in sunny Arizona. A graduate of Arizona State University with a degree in Human Communications, Jenny blends her background in media and human connection with a talent for turning everyday chaos into compelling, laugh-out-loud prose.
Her writing speaks directly to women who are holding it all together or at least pretending to. Whether you’re balancing aging parents, grown-but-not-gone kids, a never-ending to-do list, or just trying to remember what day it is, Jenny’s words offer the kind of honesty and humor that feels like therapy with your sharpest friend.
Drawing from her Houston roots and decades of lived experience, Jenny writes with grit, grace, and just enough sarcasm to make you snort your coffee. Her stories are rooted in real life, crafted to remind readers that they’re not alone, and that sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is laugh through the mess.
When she’s not writing, you’ll find her troubleshooting her family’s tech issues, collecting quotes from unfiltered conversations, or mentally drafting her next chapter while stuck in traffic. Her work is a celebration of modern womanhood: raw, ridiculous, and always worth writing about.
