I have to admit I wanted to include this book for two reasons. First, Peggy and her husband are lifelong teachers, and I do whatever I can to celebrate the efforts of teachers. Second, one of Peggy’s three sons, Mike, hosts my favorite podcast, The Way I Heard It, which is basically today’s Paul Harvey for positive, inspirational stories “for the curious mind with the short attention span.” This memoir is filled with warmth and humor. The perfect antidote to the cynicism that pervades too much of our lives nowadays.
