February 17: King Peggy by Peggielene Bartels and Eleanor Herman

In this unbelievable true story, witness the charming, real-life fairy tale of an American secretary who discovers she has been chosen king of an impoverished fishing village on the west coast of Africa.

King Peggy: An American Secretary, Her Royal Destiny, and the Inspiring Story of How She Charmed an African Village has the sweetness and quirkiness of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and the hopeful sense of possibility of Half the Sky.

King Peggy documents the story of how an American secretary was declared the monarch of a small fishing village on Ghana's central coast, recounting the challenges she faced in improving local circumstances, providing education and countering regional corruption.
