She is also a two-time New York Times bestselling author. Her books include “Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope,” which tells the story of a 17-year-old single mother living with HIV in Latin America, and “Read All About It,” an educational children’s picture book co-written with her mother, Laura Bush.

In March 2019, she launched the Read with Jenna Book Club with the Today Show, driven by her love for literature. Her mission is to provide a platform where unique and diverse authors can shine.

Latest Read With Jenna Book Pick – November 2024

Quiet Funke is happy in Nigeria. She loves her art teacher mother, her professor father, and even her annoying little brother (most of the time). But when tragedy strikes, she’s sent to England, a place she knows only from her mother’s stories. To her dismay, she finds the much-lauded estate dilapidated, the food tasteless, the weather grey. Worse still, her mother’s family are cold and distant. With one exception: her cousin Liv.

Free-spirited Liv has always wanted to break free of her joyless family. She becomes fiercely protective of her little cousin, and her warmth and kindness give Funke a place to heal. The two girls grow into adulthood the closest of friends.

But the choices their mothers made haunt Funke and Liv and when a second tragedy occurs their friendship is torn apart. Against the long shadow of their shared family history, each woman will struggle to chart a path forward, separated by country, misunderstanding, and ambition.

Moving between Somerset and Lagos over the course of two decades, This Motherless Land is a sweeping examination of identity, culture, race, and love that asks how we find belonging and whether a family’s generational wrongs can be righted.
