Writer
Amena's Quest
A young girl's world is rocked by her mother's sudden, serious illness. Remembering her great-grandmother's stories of a KING WHO HAS THE POWER TO HEAl, she sets out to find this king. But can she make it there and back in time to save her mother?
"Holli's book has the makings of a classic. From the very first chapters, the writing reminded me of Little House on the Prairie with a writing style that is at once easy to read and very descriptive. The world-building would make C. S. Lewis proud. And the allegory within the fantasy gives George McDonald a run for his money."

The Tenth Coin
Ten Coins have been carefully saved for something really special, but suddenly and without explanation, there are only nine! The frantic search for the tenth coin leads to discussions of proceeding with just the nine, but this will not do at all. The tenth one must be found!With humor and tenderness, author Holli Fry shows how much Jesus loves us and seeks us out when we go astray, following the story-line of "The Parable of the Lost Coin" found in Luke 15:8-10--with a modern twist.
The Good Samaritan
No story illustrates the concept of The Golden Rule better than the parable of the good Samaritan.” Perhaps the most well-known, and most poignant, of all the parables of Jesus, this story leaves no doubt about what Jesus came to show and teach. And our lives should reflect this. It’s all about being kind to others.
Author Holli Fry retells the story in lively rhyming verse for little ones, while emphasizing Jesus as the story-teller and the reactions of the people who were blessed to hear this story for the very first time.
Gabriel's Big Announcement
Book one in the Rhyming WORD Series
To announce the coming of God's son--what greater assignment could an angel receive! Gabriel's Big Announcement tells the story of the birth of Jesus from the point of view of the of the angel chosen to announce the momentous occasion.
