Jenny Marcelene lived cross-culturally for six years. She loves exploring new cultures and encouraging families to treasure Jesus above all else. To the Ends is her debut children's chapter book series. Once upon a time she worked as a Kids' Ministry Coordinator for her local church—which catapulted her into writing for young readers. When she’s not chipping away at a fiction book, she writes and edits non-fiction articles. In the wild, Jenny can be found walking her two labradoodles, kayaking, or cheering along the sidelines of her kids’ sports games. Connect with Jenny by visiting her website (jennymarcelene.com) or on Instagram (@jennymarcelene). ...more

Heart of a Samurai

Brief overview:

The year is 1841. A sea storm strands a Japanese fisherboy named Manjiro and his friends on an island. The group can't return home because of the country's rule that once you leave, you can't come back. Manjiro starts a new life on board a whaling ship, learns more about cultures he once feared, and wonders if one can ever become a samurai.
