Jenkins is an LA-based writer who launched his career at the nonprofit Invisible Children and, in the ensuing years, has transformed into a bestselling author. He’s released several books, including To Shake the Sleeping Self and Like Streams to the Ocean. His latest, Mother, Nature, is a gripping memoir that documents a mother-son bond, where they retrace a 5,000-mile route that his mother first traveled as part of the Walk Across America book trilogy.
