My name is Peggy Whitaker and I was born in Queens, New York. I was inspired to write "Straddling Fences" because it directed me towards a dramatic change in my life in finding love. I was raised by parents who believed in traditional way of relationships. Where I come from you marry and have kids and live happily. In today's world it doesn't always work out like that women are now raising families alone and not finding the right man. I was surprised when I was considering changing my lifestyle.
