About the Author

Kendra grew up in a small, midwestern Czech town in the USA. Even at a young age, Kendra always had a book in her hand a story to share. Inspired by her family’s Czech heritage and a passion to share lasting joy with youth students, she moved to the South Moravian region of the Czech Republic in 2016. Kendra's volunteer work brings her in contact with pieces of history and Czech culture daily. It was one of those stories, which had been shared with Kendra, that catapulted a narrative bringing out pieces of Czech history woven with emotion. She knew the stories needed to be remembered and shared with a wider audience. While Czech is a thriving, independent country today, it came through many struggles and resilience to reach where they are now. In her gripping novel, Kendra shares a journey through history, following three teenagers in different eras all seeking a freedom that finally allows the characters to understand the meaning of home.
