Eleanor Clark is a Christian author and speaker who lives in central Texas with Lee, her husband of over fifty years. As maternal patriarch of the family, she is devoted to her five children, seventeen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Born the daughter of a Texas sharecropper and raised in the Great Depression, Eleanor was a female pioneer in crossing economic, gender, education, and corporate barriers. An executive for one of America's most prestigious ministries, Eleanor later founded her own highly successful consulting firm.
Her appreciation of her American and Christian heritage comes to life, along with her exciting and colorful family history in the youth fiction series, "The Eleanor Series."
THE ELEANOR SERIES
The Eleanor Series is a historically accurate collection of books for girls which will instill faith, vision and values. The stories, which span several generations, offer a heritage of faith to young readers, and point them in the direction of a lasting legacy. Wisdom, culture and historical truths are woven throughout, with a subtle musical thread.
Twenty-first century readers are sure to relate to these amazing stories of young women from American history who have faced and overcome obstacles with the help of the Lord. Modern parents will be blessed as their daughters learn countless lessons from the pages of each book.
Interests:
Author Eleanor Clark is interested in reaching out to girls with the gospel message. She understands that twenty-first century girls wear many faces, but share one thing in common - they're fun-loving and smart. They're also eager learners, interested in a host of things - from computer games, to athletics to their relationship with the Lord. In short, they're ready to have a great time!
As both a mother and a grandmother, Eleanor also knows that modern girls are faced with many obstacles and temptations. Most every time they turn on the television set or pick up a book to read, they are greeted with messages that conflict with their faith. Daily, their values are challenged. And twenty-first century girls, like all girls from the past, want to "fit in." They want to have friends and be popular. This isn't a new thing. In fact, it's been going on for ages.
The Eleanor Series has been specifically written with twenty-first century girls in mind. Modern girls can glean from the experiences of girls from American history who have faced similar challenges. With the help of the characters from the stories, today's girls will learn that they can maintain a strong faith, a great work ethic and a desire to "finish well."
