Jamie
by James R NazJamie Timms struggled with his fragile mental health. Surrounded by the suffering of war, famine, and personal loss, he longed for heaven. He wrestled with a profound question: Is Heaven a place beyond Earth, or must humanity use science and ingenuity to transform this world into a paradise where we can reunite with loved ones? One day, five-year-old Fiona from Plockton’s Primary School arrived at his door. She carried a letter etched on a twig, a message from Sharon, a hunted bear living with her family in tunnels beneath Frithard Hill. The bears believed that only Jamie and the children could save them. Tami, a beautiful queen from the planet Wahoko Chu, traveled to Earth in search of the sacred bears. Disguised as a robin, she discovered their descendants living in the tunnels. But upon meeting Jamie, whose kind heart shone through, she fell deeply in love. Jamie’s mission became clear: transform Earth into a heaven before global warming destroyed it. With Tami by his side, the force of goodness known as ‘the power,’ the children of Plockton’s Primary School, and the eccentric extraterrestrial vet Dr. Lab, he would fight for Earth’s survival. But time, and hope, were running out.
