PURPOSE

Eleanor Clark is on a personal mission to see one million new Boy Scouts recruited and a nation changed for the better. As a third generation Scouting grandmother, she feels training young people is a way to reclaim our nation.

While researching her family's rich American history, Eleanor conceived the idea for two series, The Young Men of Honor Series and The Eleanor Series. Motivated by her family lineage, the legacy left by her ancestor's provided the perfect tool to reach today's youth with the timeless truths of patriotism, godly character, and miracles of faith.

Through her own family's stories, she instills in the youth a love of God and country, along with a passion for history. With that in mind, she set out to craft these collections of novels for the youth of today.

Eleanor's passion for history and the appreciation of her American and Christian heritage comes to life in both of collections, The Young Men of Honor Series and The Eleanor Series.

"The reason I write for young adults is because I feel that if they are taught character traits at an early age, they can develop discipline for success. I want history to come alive along with reading as entertainment."
