I Give You a Sunrise
My Triumph Over Insanity
I Give You a Sunrise (2024)
The black sheep of her family, Peggy French was intelligent, independent, unconventional, creative and assertive. She blazed through life her way. Growing up, she endured years of horrific physical and emotional abuse, then married and divorced an abusive husband.
In this book’s vignettes, we follow Peggy through her suicidal decade, her years of psychotherapy, and celebrate with her as she emerges triumphant.
Praise for I Give You a Sunrise
She can paint a picture with subtlety, as though her pen was an épée. And she can write with power, using her pen as a mallet. Her vignettes contain some of the most beautiful prose I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

Peggy French’s resilience and ability to keep moving in the face of powerful internal and external forces with courage, hope and optimism provides an example of the best in humanity. Thank you, Peggy French. I’m glad you let me walk the road with you a bit.
