More About the Author

I've published 45 books; all but two are for children. I wrote magazine articles, short stories, and plays for many years before I discovered that what I like best is to write books for kids.
When I was twelve, I was paralyzed with polio. I made almost a full recovery but I remember that time of my life so clearly that it's easy for me to write from the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
I'm always thrilled when one of my books wins a state young reader award, because I know those awards are voted on by children.
I am a widow who was married for 48 years. I have two grown children and four grandchildren. I live on a small wildlife sanctuary near Mt. Rainier National Park and I often have deer and elk in my yard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sisters, Long Ago Review, March 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Sisters Long Ago (Paperback)

Sisters, Long Ago is a wonderful novel by Peg Kehret. Willow, a teenager with a sister struggling through lukemia, has strange dreams of her past self and begins to take them seriously. Sisters, Long Ago kept me interested until the very end and I recommend it to readers of all age. The story is much deeper than reincarnation; it's about accepting people for who they are, learning and growing up, and much much more. You don't know how good it is until you read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars 9 years later and I still vividly remember this book!, September 8, 2004

I think I read this book when I was about 12 (I'm now 21) and I have to say that it was a very awe inspiring book. I didn't know much about reincarnation before this book, but the book isn't (in it's story) really about reincarnation. What I mean is... it's more about learning to deal with loss, and learning how to cope and have faith in whatever you choose to. I also vividly remember this book having almost a sci-fi sort of feel to it while it kept me guessing on why she was having these "visions/dreams" of a past life. This book truly influenced my young adult reading experince almost as much as "A Wrinkle in Time" did. I think it's educational while not trying to force any ideals/beliefs on you. Also, it's sure to keep the reader entertained. This book has heart, mystery and education all in one... what more could you want?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, April 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sisters Long Ago (Paperback)

I bought this book when it was first published, and it served as my first real exposure to reincarnation. The book is very intriguing and covers the topic in a realistic way: reincarnation workshops, skeptics, dreams, etc. The sub plots also keep you reading until the last page. This book literally opened up new worlds to me, and I hope it does the same for you!
