Peggy Glendenning was born, raised and educated in the rolling hills of southwest Wisconsin. She is a retired Registered Nurse and had the privilege of serving her neighbors in that capacity for 30 years. Peggy is the mother of four grown children, grandmother to four grandchildren, and proud maternal great granddaughter to Concetta and Francesco Nardi, the main characters in That Was Enough.

Since hanging up her stethoscope, Peggy has traveled much of Europe where she trod the footsteps of her ancestors in both Italy and Ireland. The endless tales and heroics of immigrant travels have not only enchanted her but instilled a sense of responsibility to share what is known of their personal experiences before their story is lost to history.

One of Peggy's proud accomplishments was making a pilgrimage to the small Italian village of Simbario, accompanied by her mother and two youngest sons. To return to the point of origin of their Italian heritage with three generations was a pivotal moment in Peggy's life. Walking the streets of Simbario, entering San Rocco church, gave Peggy the inspiration to write the incredible story of Francesco and Concetta.

Peggy currently resides in Iowa with her husband of 42 years where together they enjoy reading, travel, spending time with beloved family, and living out the dream set forth by their brave immigrants.
