Peggy Warren has accomplished one of fiction’s most delicate high-wire acts: writing in the voice of a child, for adults. The innocence of childhood is deftly evoked in a bold girl’s search for hardest kind of gift for her father, peace and quiet and a changed life to boot. A gallery of fascinating characters each offers some truth in young Zoey’s journey and, by book’s end, we understand that, without even realizing it, our lives have changed too.
–Burt Rashbaum, author of Becoming an American and Tears For My Mother

The journey into the soul of this book begins with a child searching for the perfect gift to her father. We soon discover that this is the yearning of the ‘child’ in each of us: to give the perfect gift…to ourselves, and to others. How shall we give what we value most, not just once, but moment by moment? It’s a treasure worth sharing!

How quickly the pages turn in Peggy Warren’s Gathering Peace. The author is a gifted writer who strikes a fine balance between the naiveté and the incredible wisdom of a little girl. This lovely book will linger on in your heart long after it has been placed back on the shelf.’
