Autorenporträt
Born in 1948, Peggy Ann Bradnick tells her own story of life in rural Pennsylvania in the 1950's and 1960's, and of the kidnapping which made her famous. She has survived not only that violent crime but also the lifelong effects of its media storm. After many years in northern Indiana, she and her family moved back to Pennsylvania. Now retired from the Area Agency on Aging, she has spent the past nine years speaking to the public about the role of God in her life and the need for effective treatment of the mentally ill. This is her first book. Chris Armagost was raised in the same area of Pennsylvania as Peggy Jackson. She graduated from the school district adjacent to Peggy's before leaving to get some higher education at both Wilson College and Nyack College. She returned to the area and has managed to keep working while staying around horses, 4-H, cats, and books, and writing for fun in her spare time. She feels that God dropped this story in her lap, and that it is the best possible first book project ever.
