Bio:
Sarah Parker was the wife of John Parker and mother of Lizzy Parker. A lifelong resident of Amargosa, she helped manage the family farm alongside her husband, raising their daughter in the quiet but demanding life of an agricultural colony. Sarah was a practical, no-nonsense woman with a sharp intuition, and her presence in the household was both commanding and compassionate.
When Lizzy married JT Austin after the invasion began, she chose a Harvester sect ceremony as Sarah grew up in that faith. She also claimed engagements in Sarah’s family involved a blood oath, in which the couple cut their thumbs, each one making a vow and sucking blood from the wound. JT later learned Lizzy had made that up on the spot and did it mainly to tease her new fiance.
When the invasion of Amargosa began, Sarah acted swiftly and decisively, ordering Lizzy and JT to pack and head for the settlement’s shelter. Aware of the danger, she placed her trust in JT and gave him one of the most emotionally charged instructions in the early part of the story: “Take care of my daughter.” That moment left a lasting impact on JT and set the tone for the bond between him and Lizzy throughout the trilogy.
