The Spirit of Villarosa: A Father’s Extraordinary Adventures; A Son’s Challenge by Horace Dade Ashton, Marc Ashton, and WPN member Libby J. Atwater won first place in two Royal Dragonfly Book Award categories: biography and memoir, and historical nonfiction.
The book is a glorious account of Horace Ashton’s remarkable adventures juxtaposed with his son Marc’s 2001 kidnapping in Haiti by four armed thugs who clearly plan to kill him. While captive, Marc determines to survive and asks himself, “What would Dad do?” To find out how this true-life adventure culminates, read the book. It can be purchased at www.LibbyAtwaterBooks.com.
