He encouraged her to turn a short story assignment into a full novel, which she did, but not until many years later, after her children, Charles and Cheryl were grown and she had retired from local government.
Inez, Peggys mother, kept her short story tucked safely away in her bible all through the years, and then gave it back to Peggy before she passed away in 1993. The title of the short story was, Andersons Survive the Civil War Then Seal it with a Kiss. The story was special to her mother because Anderson was her maiden name.
After reconnecting with her beloved teacher Jim Avey, he and her husband Frank, encouraged Peggy to turn her story assignment into a full novel.
Mr. Avey gave Peggy another A+ grade and wrote a note about her book. Her publisher added the note and her grade to her book before publishing it.
Thanks to local newspapers and Fox TV, the story of Peggy and her beloved teacher, twice became a front-page human-interest story. Mr. Avey told her that he received more recognition because of her book than he ever did during all of his years of teaching school.
Books written by Peggy are Andersons Survive the Civil War Then Seal it with a Kiss, The Secret Sins of Their Preachers, EMMA Infamy & Ecstasy and her current book SHAKEDRA.
Teachers do make a difference in the lives of their students. Mr. Avey and Peggy are a perfect example.view less
