SONIA MARSH SAYS:

Thank you for sharing your personal story and helping others who have been abused by their fathers. You made us wait to discover who you were talking about, which I found intriguing. I cannot wait to read your memoir and wish you all the best Leslie.

2nd Place goes to Barbara Charlene Barker

 

Barbara Charlene Barker, “A “Gutsy” 79-year-old drives a FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier”
