For more than a decade, Marianne Curtis has been the head writer for the Dawson Trail Dispatch. During that time, she has published more than 7,000 articles in the monthly paper. Writing Finding Gloria was her way of healing from the past she details, and finding peace with her life. Originally intended to be an outlet for her own healing, Curtis has been surprised and touched at the stories she hears from readers and the way that her story has helped them to share theirs.
