Described by Kirkus as “a moving portrait of brotherly love,” Jenna Marcus‘ YA novel Breath Deep & Swim is a timely story that follows two siblings on a whirlwind journey to find their mother and avoid separation in the foster care system.
Marcus notes that her writing, particularly her approach to crafting characters, has been inspired by authors like Nic Stone, S.E. Hinton and Amy Tan. She’s in awe of writers whose work has moved beyond the realm of literature itself to become part of a larger, cultural conversation, and she hopes that her own writing will be a part of that conversation as well.
