The Last Daughter of Prussia
Raised in the Bahamas, the daughter of German immigrant parents, Marina Gottlieb Sarles was a practicing physical therapist and energy healer for more than 20 years before drawing on her storytelling skills to write her first book, Sand in My Shoes: A Collection of Island Stories. She has been published in the Macmillan Caribbean anthology, Under the Perfume Tree, and ESPN produced a special feature based on one of her short stories. Her essay, Auschwitz, Stutthof and Remembrance, was featured in the online magazine, Wild River Review. Marina and her husband and son live on Grand Bahama Island and spend a lot of time boating in the Abaco cays.
