Where Readers Find Books by Libby J. Atwater
“When the storyteller tells the truth, she reminds us that human beings are more alike than unalike… A story is what it’s like to be a human being—to be knocked down and to miraculously arise,” said Maya Angelou.
As a journalist and personal historian, Libby J. Atwater found her calling writing nonfiction. She has helped others preserve their life stories in books, on CDs, and on DVDs since 1989.
In 2013 she introduced What Lies Within, her own memoir about growing up in a home filled with secrets that lead to the dissolution of a once-happy family. Her book won first place in the 2013 The Royal Dragonfly Awards for best biography/memoir and tied for first place in other nonfiction. With its publication, she embarked on a journey to tell her own story—one tale at a time. Along the way, she launched this website, www.LibbyAtwaterBooks.com, to showcase the books she’s written.
Welcome to Libby Atwater Books, where you’ll find compelling memoirs written by Libby J. Atwater.
