Train from Georgia has been awarded Third Place in the Non-Fiction-Memoir-Portrait

became an international sensation. Their voices, harmonies, and unique sound
captivated the world, making them one of the most beloved musical groups in
history.
This book blends history, biography, and the magic of music
storytelling, bringing to life the struggles and successes that shaped their
legacy. Whether you are a longtime fan of Gladys Knight & the Pips, a lover
of music history, or simply someone who appreciates stories of perseverance and
triumph, this book will resonate with you.
