Dear Ms. Skinner:
Your book Until We Sleep Our Last Sleep has won the 2020 North Carolina Genealogical Society Award for Excellence in Publishing: A Publication Relevant to North Carolina Genealogy. The Awards Committee found the transcribed diary an intriguing look into the life of a Quaker woman that would be of interest to anyone studying the social history of this time period and community. The context it gives to the life of a Quaker woman and your inclusion of the additional resources make it a valuable genealogical resource.
