Beyond my Wildest

Beyond My Wildest : One woman's story of rebellion, tragedy and finding strength. A Memoir - Peggy Larsen Peggy grew up in the parched town of Barstow, California, the daughter of poor-as-dirt Oklahoma farmers. A runaway hippie at age 13, she was pregnant, married and suffered domestic abuse by age 17. With a baby to feed and no college degree, she took a filing job at the local insurance agency. She never could have guessed that she'd survive the tragedies to come, or that she'd go on to become Senior Vice President for a billion-dollar company and receive the prestigious Athena Award, given to just one woman each year. Hers is a tale of turning her back ... then turning back ... to life, to love, to hope.
