Her most recent book, Growing Up Ivy, was published by Dundurn in 2010. A retired librarian, Peggy has published stories and articles in newspapers and magazines and was contributing editor on three books of local history.

Writing the life of Mary Pickford was a natural progression. Visit Peggy at www.peggydymondleavey.com
