Lena's Journey (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781544553047)

Sometimes hope grows from the places you least expect.

The hospital is home now for ten-year-old Lena as she battles a mysterious, undiagnosed illness. While her friends take tests on history and math, she is the subject of hers, given by doctors through blood draws and ultrasounds.

Hoping to lift her spirits, Lena's father, the vice president of a tech company, gives her a prototype VR headset. Lena travels the world from her bed, learning of cultures and religions, unspoken truths and beautiful details about places she's never physically been. Although confined to a room, Lena's perspective expands-in empathy and sense of self.

Lena's Journey is a story about enduring uncertainty and gaining resilience, gratitude, and a clearer comprehension of freedom. In this journey, explore questions of faith, identity, and belonging. A quietly profound tale for all ages, Lena's Journey is an allegory for learning to let go and returning more whole than before.
