Nancy Stewart Bagshaw joins the ranks of Amazon’s Bestselling Authors

BRIDGEHAMPTON, N.Y. - Nov. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Seagull Books, an imprint of Leo Publishing, LLC, the publisher for Finding Five, is pleased to announce that our author Nancy Stewart Bagshaw has reached her first milestone, having her book reach the top 100 books sold in the category of books for teens and social issues. Finding Five is the touching tribute to Nancy Bagshaw’s young niece, Katy, who lost her valiant fight with terminal cancer shortly before her 13th birthday. This small but powerful book is a look back at a young life lost too soon. But, it is more that that; it is a story of celebration of how that life was lived and how young Katy touched the lives of those around her. It is a story of honoring the life of the late loved one by coming to appreciate all the things that this person loved—immortalizing the spirit of the loved one.

The subject of death and dying is one that is spoken in whispers in our modern American culture, as if it is something that happens to someone else and does not affect us. When a life is lost at such a young age, we try to minimize the loss to the young person’s peers. Even the families experiencing such loses hold that grief to themselves, finding the memories too painful to share. Finding Five breaks through those social taboos, placing  all the things that made Bagshaw’s niece, Katy, a very special and much-loved young girl.

Finding Five is Nancy Stewart Bagshaw’s first published book, released in mid-October, has already garnered five-star reviews. Nancy is a resident of the Hamptons’s community on Easter Long Island, New York, and teaches Spanish to grades 7 to 12.  Finding Five has been praised by school psychologists, social workers, and noted children’s authors for taking such a difficult subject and creating a tribute to the life of her young niece. Finding Five is beautifully illustrated, filled with much of that what Katy cared about during her life. With such love and dedication to the memory of a child, it is only fitting that Finding Five:  Embracing Remembrances of Those Who Have Passed should become a best selling book on the Amazon online system. Nancy’s book is not just the story of her niece’s short time on Earth; it is a power tool for others who have lost a loved one.
