Dancing on the Roof
by Peggy Melanson, Superb storyteller, renaissance woman and humanist

"Here Peggy, the "incorrigible foster kid from the South End of Boston" tells her remarkable life story. An alcoholic mother tried to break her spirit but she was saved by her story book older brother, Charlie. He created a special safety zone for her and taught her how to turn adversity into adventure, a lesson she has never forgotten. When conditions got progressively rougher, she managed to turn the worst of life experiences into opportunities for growth. She says, "We can either choose to do that or allow difficulties to destroy us and those around us." Twice hit by virulent cancer, she found a way, to make the experiences life affirming and help others do the same." The lesson she teaches is one that inspires everyone lucky enough to know her: "That it is truly never too late: to pursue and find your dreams." Read this story. It is a gift that will change your life. View Memoir
