Marketing and Communications Director for the Muskingum County Library System Sean Fennell said that the book “A Princess Found” tells the journey of how Culberson made a connection to her birth father and discovered that she is a Princess in his home Country of Sierra Leone.

“I think this title in general, has a really wonderful story to it and Narrative. It’s a non-fiction book but it’s written in such a way that it’s very approachable and it covers a lot of topics like sense of home and adoption. There’s a lot to it and lot for kids to relate to and learn from.”

Culberson now advocates for her father’s Country, Co-Founding Sierra Leone Rising, a foundation that supports education and infrastructure needs in the Country.
