The Pretend Friend Association: Parts One to Four

"There are so many fears that come with being a chronically ill teenager. My most irrational fear was that if I died, my characters would die, too."

As children, siblings Todd and Anna Grace Shramere created an imaginary world. Guided by nine "Rules of Imagination," Anna Grace wrote hundreds of stories about a fantastic realm, filled with imaginary friends, secret superheroes, talking stuffed animals, flying cars, and parallel universes.

Several years later, Anna Grace is thrust into the frightening world of hospitals and infusions when she is diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening kidney disease. The sixteen-year-old copes by immersing herself in the fictional stories she wrote as a child. As her health deteriorates, Anna Grace darkens her stories by giving her disease to one of the youngest imaginary characters as well as adding villains and criminals to the once-safe imaginary city. As Anna Grace fights for her life, the fate of the inhabitants of the Underground City hangs in the balance.

Based on the author's true story, this e-book contains the first four novellas of The PFA series. The Pretend Friend Association Parts One through Four were originally published separately as The PFA: Part One- Stories, The PFA: Part Two- Diagnostics, The PFA: Part Three- Seasons, and The PFA: Part Four- Decisions.
