Winners will be announced at the Midwest Book Awards Gala to be held on May 12, 2017, Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Dawn Morningstar's book "Venerable Women: Transform Ourselves, Transform the World" was inspired by a quote from the Dalai Lama: "The world will be saved by the Western woman."

A guide to venerable living, this book is the cornerstone of the Venerable Women organization, philosophy, and movement that is attracting a faithful following of readers internationally.
