BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - EntSun -- From Crisis to Compassion, written by Kern County resident, Sally Betters, has been nominated for a 2019 Author Academy Award, an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.

Sally Betters' book is a top ten finalist for an award in the Memoir category. She is a UCLA graduate and a former Special Education Certified Tutor.
