ZANESVILLE − Sarah Culberson visited Zanesville last week and spoke at Secrest Auditorium and the Nelson T. Grant House, about her book, "A Princess Found."

Culberson was born in Morgantown, West Virginia, to a white college student and a black father, who was visiting his brother at college. He was from Sierra Leone, an small nation on the west coast of Africa. She was put up for adoption a few days after she was born andher father returned to Africa.

Culberson told her audience members about discovering she was the daughter of the chief of the Mende tribe in Bumpe, Sierra Leone, and about meeting her birth father, all of which is chronicled in her book. She has since started a foundation, Sierra Leone Rising, to help rebuild the country after a civil war.

"A Princess Found" can be order through Amazon or Target, as well as other sites.
