Jenna Bush Inks Book Deal
Reformed hard-partying first daughter and UT Austin grad Jenna Bush has just signed to HarperCollins to publish what's being billed as a "young-adult, narrative non-fiction project."
Though having spent less than half a year as an intern with UNICEF's Educational Policy department in South America, the former elementary school teacher found inspiration in the children of Central and South America. She now teaches at a shelter in Panama.
"These young people have faced extreme hardships and exclusion but are strong in spirit and have an incredible will to succeed," said Bush. "Through their stories, it is my hope to motivate young Americans to increase their awareness of other young people around the world: to learn about the challenges they face, how they triumph over adversity, and to become involved in helping them."
The project, entitled Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, will focus on the story of a seventeen-year-old single mother living with HIV.
