A story of grit, determination, loss and redemption, The Parents is a compelling human drama.

The Parents is a mystery–thriller that will take you to the edge of your seat… and push you over—into a madly creative, profoundly inspiring, deeply human, yet magical reality that exists on the other side of the illusion you currently call life.

Human drama, political intrigue, global crises, quantum physics, time travel, corruption, media mayhem, religious collapse, United Nations skulduggery, government scandals, romance, personal transformation, humour and high-tech rebels: The Parents brings us the ultimate life we all yearn for but don’t know how to create… and keeps readers guessing till the very end.

Heartfelt and compelling

The Parents inspires change at a cellular level—an evolutionary leap for humanity and a global renaissance in the way we live, love, create, tele-communicate and grow. This is a life you will not want to leave. You will miss the characters, wish you could be them… and hope for a sequel.

—Elisabet Sahtouris, PhD, evolution biologist & futurist; author of EarthDance and Gaia's Dance.

"This is the book to change entire generations. From a dystopian world where faceless connections have replaced human interaction, The Parents transports us into a future of limitless potential. With this impeccably crafted text, gifted writer Olga Sheean keeps the reader spellbound till the final chapter, delighting hearts, igniting minds and inspiring profound transformations."

"A wish-it-were-true revolutionary sci-fi thriller that would make Nikola Tesla smile and send the rest of us on a transformational journey back to a world worth living in!"

—Roger Herried, clean-energy expert, co-founder of the US Green Party

"If you've ever read a book that has moved you, changed your perceptions, caused you to pause, reflect and go, "'mmmmmm...' this be that book. At least, it was for me. Since I've had the pleasure of dipping into Sheean's eloquence with other books and articles, I knew I was in for a major treat at the outset. However, I wasn't prepared to literally be blown away by words on a page. Her talents are nothing short of artful mastery. If I may share a wee sample: "LOVE x GRATITUDE x TRUTH surely formed the cubic footage of the cosmos." I  rest my case. Thank you, Olga. More, please!

"Another brilliant book by Olga Sheean. Triggering tears and smiles, The Parents is an intriguing, educational, inspirational rollercoaster. An empowering must-read from one of the best."

—Mirjam Schouten, BASc, PR/HR consultant

"Deadly secrets, family ties, and quantum physics keep the pages turning in this first-rate SF thriller... Though family ties, human drama, and political and scientific intrigue stay at the heart of the story, Sheean expertly conveys complex family dynamics, finding room for insight and love in the midst of tragedy while her graceful touch gives the characters a rich complexity and depth. 

"Sheean keeps the suspense high [...] while the narrative moves back in time and shocking revelations unravel. [S]ure to win Sheean many fans."

—Goodreads

"The Parents is a healing for this world crisis. An intriguing cliff-hanger full of love, joy, compassion and wit, its core message is about the centrality of our human relationships, within family, with friends, within communities and within society.

"It keeps us guessing while revealing how we have allowed technology to erode the most precious aspects of our lives, and paints the picture of how joy-filled and creative life can be once we step back and choose a different course. The Parents promises a different future from the bleak one now confronting us, if we can just understand and act on its message."
