BeLena Cawthorne Turner, M.Ed. is an educator, author, entrepreneur, and founder of Redemption Publishing. Her life and work are rooted in a simple belief:

Our hardest chapters do not have to be our final chapters.

BeLena’s journey has included education, ministry, motherhood, entrepreneurship, loss, rebuilding, and personal redemption. Rather than allowing difficult seasons to silence her, she began turning those experiences into stories designed to educate, encourage, and inspire others. Her background as an educator continues to influence her writing, particularly her commitment to creating books that help children discover their history, faith, identity, and possibilities.
