1st Place, with 45% of the votes, goes to Leslie Johansen Nack, with, “I Wished Him Dead.”

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”

SONIA MARSH SAYS: Barbara, you look too young to be 79, and being active seems to be what makes you stay young. You are an inspiration to all of us. keep doing what you love. Perhaps you should join the Peace Corps next.

3rd Place goes to Gisela Hausmann, “My “Gutsy” Journey to the Dalai Lama’s Potala Palace-Lhasa Tibet”
