Characters / Olivia Parker

Olivia Parker is a girl in Odyssey, the daughter of David and Eva Parker, with a brother named Matthew and a little sister named Camilla. She is passionate about nearly everything she tries, forever taking up a new cause or a new pursuit, from guitar lessons to garage sales to befriending the neighbors. Drama is her deepest love. She writes plays, directs, performs, and serves as president of her school's drama club. Her enthusiasm often outruns her judgment; she says yes to more than she can finish, and her pride and temper sometimes cost her, though she usually finds her way to an apology. Her best friend is Zoe Grant. Olivia also asks hard questions about God, and Whit and her family walk with her as she searches for answers.
