ISBN: 9780312378790.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarah Culberson was adopted one year after her birth by a loving, white, West Virginian couple and was raised in the United States with little knowledge of her ancestry. Though raised in a loving family, Sarah wanted to know more about the birth parents that had given her up. In 2004, she hired a private investigator to track down her biological father. When she began her search, she never imagined what she would discover or where that information would lead her: she was related to African royalty, a ruling Mende family in Sierra Leone and that she is considered a mahaloi, the child of a Paramount Chief, with the status like a princess. What followed was an unforgettably emotional journey of discovery of herself, a father she never knew, and the spirit of a war-torn nation. A Princess Found is a powerful, intimate revelation of her quest across the world to learn of the chiefdom she could one day call her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44424027668533,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312378793","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312378790_2911c3d9-d174-4075-b7ac-de7368722e3e.jpg?v=1786502029","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-princess-found-an-american-family-an-african-chiefdom-and-the-daughter-who-connected-them-all-9780312378790","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
