"Echoes of the Heart" is a personal narrative with historical overtones written by the great-great-granddaughter of an 1800s railroad magnate, Sam Sloan, Peggy Paradise grew up in a fading aristocracy in the New York Hudson Highlands. Her poignant depiction of life in a dysfunctional family is eclipsed by her persistent wit and adventuresome spirit.
Peggy Paradise self-navigated through a challenging life of adventure, excitement and sometimes danger. She pioneered through the '70's employment minefield as a single mom taking men's jobs for men's wages to support her family. Achieving personal victories, Peggy maintains a quick wit, infectious laugh, never entertaining self-pity.
